Adjusting Saw Chain Tension - Dolmar AS-3625 Manual De Instrucciones

Adjusting saw chain tension

The saw chain may become loose after many hours of
use. From time to time check the saw chain tension
before use. (Fig. 13)
Move the lever in the upright position.
Press in the lever. With the lever depressed, make a
quarter turn on it counterclockwise to loosen the nut
lightly. (Pressing in the lever leads to the fitting of lever
into the nut.) (Fig. 14)
Turn the adjusting dial to adjust saw chain tension. Grasp
the saw chain in the middle of the guide bar and lift up.
The gap between the guide bar and the tie strap of the
saw chain should be approx. 2 – 4 mm. If the gap is not
approx. 2 – 4 mm, slightly turn the adjusting dial which
secures the guide bar. At this time, adjust with the tip of
guide bar slightly pointing up. (Fig. 15)
With the lever depressed, turn it fully clockwise to tighten
the nut firmly. (Fig. 16)
Return the lever to its original position. (Fig. 17)
CAUTION:
• Excessively high tension of saw chain may cause
breakage of saw chain, wear of the guide bar and
breakage of the adjusting dial.
• Installing or removing saw chain should be carried out
in a clean place free from sawdust and the like.
Battery adapter (Accessory) (Fig. 18 & 19)
CAUTION:
• Before using battery adapter, read all instructions on
tools using battery.
• When charging a battery cartridge, first remove it from
the battery adapter and then charge it. It is not allowed
to charge the battery cartridge while using battery
adapter.
Installing or removing battery adapter
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery adapter.
• To remove the battery adapter, withdraw it from the tool
while sliding the button on the adapter.
• To insert the battery adapter, align the tongue on the
battery adapter with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery adapter. If
the adapter does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
• The way of removing or installing a battery cartridge
from or on the battery adapter is the same as that of
removing or installing it from or on the tools.
• Press down the hook securely as far as it will go when
the battery adapter is hooked on the waist belt and sim-
ilar objects.

Arm cord hook (Accessory) (Fig. 20)
CAUTION:
• Do not attach the holder of arm cord hook to other than
the extension cord. Failure to do so may cause an acci-
dent or personal injury.
Using the arm cord hook helps to minimize a risk of cut-
ting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by the
loose extension cord.
Attach firmly the arm cord hook band placing around
your arm and pass the extension cord through the holder.
The length of the arm cord hook band is adjustable.
NOTE:
• Do not pass the extension cord through the band.
• Do not force the opening of the holder. Failure to do so
may cause deflection and damage to it.
OPERATION
Lubrication (Fig. 21)
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation.
Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil tank through
the oil inspection window.
To refill the tank, remove the cap from the oil tank open-
ing. The oil tank capacity is 85 ml.
After refilling the tank, always screw the provided oil tank
cap on the chain saw.
CAUTION:
• When filling the chain saw with chain oil for the first
time, or refilling the tank after it has been completely
emptied, add oil up to the bottom edge of the filler neck.
The oil delivery may otherwise be impaired.
• As a saw chain oil, use oil exclusively for Dolmar chain
saws or oil available in market.
• Never use oil including dust and particles or volatile oil.
• When pruning trees, use botanical oil. Mineral oil may
harm trees.
• Never force the chain saw when pruning trees.
• Before cutting out, make sure that the provided oil tank
cap is screwed in place.
Hold the chain saw away from the tree. Start it and wait
until lubrication on saw chain is adequate.
Bring the lower guide into contact with the branch to be
cut before switching on. Cutting without bringing the
lower guide into contact with the branch may cause the
guide bar to wobble, resulting in injury to operator.
Saw the wood to be cut by just moving it down. (Fig. 22)
