Chain Oil - Garland GIRAFFE 312 G Manual De Instrucciones

English
8. Tighten the cap nut tightly with the supplied
wrench.
9. Verify that the chain slides along the bar while
maintaining adequate tension when you move it by
hand. If necessary repeat the tensioning procedure
until the chain is correctly installed.
New chains have a certain expansion when they
start to be used. Check and regulate chain tension
regularly. An incorrectly tensioned chain will wear
quickly and wear the chain bar guide.
6.3.1. CHAIN TENSIONING
1. Make sure the chain is inside the guide groove of
the bar.
2. Loosen the nut of the chain cover.
3. Turn the chain tensioning screw (1) clockwise to
tighten or counterclockwise to loosen the chain until
the chain tension is correct.
a. Example (A) corresponds to a strained chain.
b. Example (B) corresponds to a chain that is too
loose.
4. Tighten the chain cap nut.
NOTES: The chain expands with heat. When the chain
is cold the tension will be greater than hot.
If the chain is tensioned when it is cold, you should
check the tension after some cuts (the chain will have
reached its working temperature) since it will expand
and loosen when it is heated, and there is a danger
that it will leave the guide. Re-tension the chain if
necessary.
If the chain is re-tensioned when it is hot, the tension
should be checked when it cools and slightly loosen if
necessary since the contraction that occurs when the
chain cools could cause excessive chain tension and
damage it.
New chains require a rolling period during which their
links are adjusted by slightly modifying the distance of
the chain, this shooting period is a couple of minutes
of cutting. If you work with a new chain, remember
to check the tension of the chain after these first
minutes.

6.3.2. CHAIN OIL

1
Use only special oil for chainsaw chains. Do not use
any oil other than chainsaw chains as it may damage
the machine's oil pump.
Chain oil must be introduced into the chain oil
reservoir. The oil tank cap is indicated in chapter 3.
"Symbols on the machine".
To prevent dirt from entering the interior of the tank,
clean the oil tank cap before opening it. Close the oil
level cap by tightening it and clean if oil has spilled out
of the tank.
