Fitting the loop handle

Li-ion Li-ion
• Clip the loop handle onto the shaft. Note that the loop
handle must be fitted between the arrows on the shaft.
• Slide the spacer into the slot in the loop handle.
• Fit the nut, knob and screw. Do not overtighten.
• Now finely adjust so that the brush saw gives a
comfortable working position. Tighten the bolt/knob.

Fitting the bar and chain

Li-ion Li-ion
• Unscrew the bar nut and remove the protective cover.
• Fit the bar over the bar bolt. Place the bar in its
rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive
sprocket and in the groove on the bar. Begin on the
top side of the bar.
• Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are
facing forward on the top edge of the bar.
• Fit the cover and locate the chain adjuster pin (A) in
the hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the
chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket (B) and that
the chain is in the groove in the bar (C). Tighten the
bar nut finger-tight.
• Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The
18 – English

ASSEMBLY

chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from
the underside of the bar.
• The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no
slack on the underside of the bar, and it can still be
turned easily by hand. Tighten the bar nut with the
combination spanner while holding up the tip of the
bar.
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.

Rotating the saw head

• Unscrew the locking screw.
• Rotate the saw head 90° and lock with the locking
screw.
