• Keep the box for further reuse (transport and storage).
• Keep instruction manual in a dry area for further consultation.
4.2 INSTALLATION
Assemble the guide bar and the saw chain : illustration 1 to 8
1. Place the saw body on a firm and level surface.
2. Rotate the clamp nut to remove the cover from the saw's body.
3. Rotate the locking pin, let the tensioning bolt at the proposal position.
4. With the help of protective gloves, wrap the saw chain around the guide bar, making sure that the
teeth are aimed in the direction of rotation. The chain should be properly set in the slot running along
the entire outside edge of the guide bar.
5. Place the saw chain around the sprocket while lining up the slot in the guide bar with the internal bolt
at the base of the saw and the tensioning bolt in the guide bar's pin hole. The chain tensioning pin may
need adjustment to properly align with the hole in the guide bar. Use the chain tensioning wheel to
adjust its location until it fits in the guide bar.
6. Turn the chain tensioning wheel to preliminarily tighten the guide bar enough that it stays in place.
While holding the bar still, place the cover back onto the saw. Make sure the tab properly lines up with
the slot on the body of the saw. Lock the cover in place with the lock screw by turning it clockwise
until it engages.
Tensioning the chain
Rotating the tension screw upwards increases the tension while rotating it downwards decreases tension.
A properly tensioned chain should have no sag and should only be able to be pulled 2-3 mm away from
the chain bar of the saw.
The chain tension is optimal if the saw chain can be lifted 3 mm from the center of the guide bar. Since
the saw chain heats up during operation, its length can therefore fluctuate. Check the chain tension
every 10 minutes of operation and adjust as necessary, particularly for new saw chains. Slacken the saw
chain after the work is completed since it shortens when cooling down. In doing so, you can elongate the
chain's life and prevent damage.
4.3 PREPARATION
Before each use, check the following items to ensure safe working conditions.
Chain saw :
Before beginning work, inspect the chain saw for damage to the housing, the saw chain and the guide
bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.
Chain oil :
Check the fi ll level of the oil tank. Also check whether there is sufficient oil available while working. Never
operate the saw if there is no oil or the oil level has dropped below the minimum oil level mark, in order
to prevent damage to the chain saw. On average, an oil filling is sufficient for approximately 10 minutes
of cutting operation (depending the duration of pauses and the density of the work piece).

Note: The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to
ensure safe operation.
