moved easily by hand.
Readjust tension of the saw chain when nec- essary (Re-tensioning the saw chain –p. 16).
If there is sufficient chain greasing, the oil spraying off of the saw chain will form a slight trail.
Checking the chain greasing

5. OPERATION
Safety equipment
The device has several pieces of safety equipment which reduce the risk of injury when working:
Chain catcher
The chain catcher serves to catch a torn saw chain or one which has jumped out of the guide.
Through regular maintenance of the saw rail and correct and regular tensioning of the saw chain,
accidents of this type can be prevented.
