to be used with chain saw. Never use
recycled/old oil. Use of non-approved oil will
invalidate the warranty.
Replacing the chain and guide
bar
WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves when handling
the chain.
■ Remove the two batteries from the tool.
■ Place the chain saw on any suitable flat
surface.
■ Loosen the clamping knob (14)
anticlockwise and remove the drive sprocket
cover (13) (see figure E).
■ Fit the saw chain (3) in the solt around the
guide bar (4). Ensure the saw chain is in the
correct running direction.
■ Fit the guide bar onto the drive sprocket.
Mark sure that the guide bar (4) is correctly
positioned over the fastening bolt ( f1) and
the saw chain 'Cutter' complies with the
chain direction indicator (f2) on the plastic
housing(see figure F).
■ Make sure that the chain tension pin (17) is
inserted in the lower hole in the tail of the
bar, if not, rotate the chain tension knob (12)
fully counterclockwise (see figure G).
■ Reattach the drive sprocket cover (13).

Saw chain tensioning
CAUTION!
Always check the chain tension before
use. Upon initial operation, new chains can
lengthen considerably.
WARNING!
Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this
will cause the chain to become overtensioned
and fit too tightly against the chain bar when
it cools down.
■ Remove the two batteries and place the
chain saw on a suitable flat surface.
■ Lift up the tip of the guide bar (4) and keep
it slight lifted as you adjust the tension.
Ensure that the guide bar has some
movement, loosen the clamping knob (14)
slightly if necessary.
■ Turn the chain tension knob (12) until all
chain sections are just touching the bottom
edge of the guide.
■ Check the chain tension by pulling upwards
on the chain against the weight of the
product. The correct chain tension is
achieved when the saw chain can be lifted
by approx. 5 mm from the guide bar in the
centre (see figure H).
■ Re-adjust the tension as described above if
you find that the chain saw is too loose or
tight.
■ Tighten the clamping knob (14) firmly to fix
the guide bar.
Guide bar cover (see figure I)
Always fit the guide bar cover (15) to guide
bar (4) when the tool is not in use, e.g. refilling
of chain oil, inserting/removing of battery
