Safety Checks; Checking The Chain Brake - Stiga CS 80 Li Manual De Instrucciones

The tension is correct when the drive links
do not slip out of the chain guides if you hold
the chain in the middle of the bar (Fig. 7).
To adjust the chain tension:
1. loosen the cover nuts, using
the supplied wrench;
2. turn the chain tension adjuster screw (Fig.

5.D) to achieve the desired tension;
+
3. raise the bar and tighten the guard nuts
securely using the wrench (Fig. 8.A).
Never work with the chain loose,
as it can be hazardous if the chain
slips out of the bar guides.
IMPORTANT During the first period of use
(or after replacing the chain) it must be checked
more frequently due to settling of the chain.
