E N G L I S H
To ensure continued safe operation,
check the chain tension as described
in this manual after every 10 minutes
of use, and adjust back to a clearance
of 3 mm as required.
Double insulation
Your chainsaw is double insulated.
This means that all external metal parts are
electrically isolated from the power supply.
This is achieved by placing an extra insulation
barrier between the electrical and mechanical
parts. Double insulation means greater
electrical safety and obviates the necessity
of having the machine earthed.
Electrical safety
Make sure your chainsaw is correct for your
x
supply. The voltage can be found on the rating
plate.

ASSEMBLY
Before assembly, make sure that the tool
is switched off and unplugged.
Oiling the chain (fig. A)
You must do this whenever you use a new
x
chain for the first time. Take the new chain out
of its plastic bag and soak it in chain oil for at
least an hour before using it. Use Black & Decker
chain oil (cat. no. A6027).
We recommend that you use only one brand
x
of oil during the lifetime of your chainsaw
because mixtures of different oils could lead to
the oil becoming degraded, which can
drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw chain.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing
x
machine oil. These may damage your chainsaw.
Fitting the guide bar and chain (fig. B, C & D)
Wear protective gloves.
Place the saw onto a stable surface.
x
Loosen and remove the chain cover bolt (7)
x
(fig. C).
Remove the chain cover (6).
x
Place the chain (9) over the guide bar (8),
x
making sure that the cutters on the upper part
of the guide bar face towards the front (fig. B).
Guide the chain around the guide bar and pull
x
it to create a loop at the rear end of the guide
bar.
Place the chain and guide bar onto the saw.
x
Guide the chain around the drive sprocket (12).
Place the guide bar onto the studs (13). Make
sure that the sliding nut peg (16) locates into
the tensioning hole (17).
Place the chain cover (6) onto the saw.
x
Fit the chain cover bolt (7) and tighten it finger
x
tight.
Turn the screw (14) (fig. D) clockwise until the
x
chain is tight. Make sure that the chain is snug
around the guide bar. Do not overtighten.
Tighten the chain cover bolt using the spanner
x
supplied.
