INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The chain is not yet tensioned; do not attempt to use the machine, until the assembly instructions are
CHAIN TENSION
Always check the chain tension before use, after the first cuts and regularly during use, approx. every 10
minutes. Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
Unplug the chainsaw from the power source before adjusting the chain tension
Cutting edges on the chain are extremely sharp. Always use protective gloves when handling the chain.
Always maintain proper chain tension. A loose chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose chain may
jump out of the guide bar groove, which may injure the operator and damage the chain, chain bar and drive
The life of a saw chain will rely on sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning.
Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot. This will cause the chain to be over tensioned, when it cools down.
1. Place the chainsaw on a flat, solid surface.
2. Rotate the locking knob/chain tensioning knob clockwise, until the locking knob is screwed tightly. The
correct chain tension will be reached automatically. The ratchet mechanism prevents the chain tension
from loosening.
3. The correct chain tension is reached when the chain can be raised 3-6mm from the centre of the chain
bar. This should be done, by using one hand to raise the chain against the weight of the machine.
4. If the chain loses tension, unscrew the locking knob/chain tensioning knob completely. Then screw on the
cover plate with the locking knob tightly again.
LUBRICATION
The Chainsaw IS NOT supplied filled with chain oil. It is essential to fill the oil canister with chain oil before
use. We recommend the use of Handy Parts Chainsaw Oil (HP-177 - 500ml/HP-146 - 1 litre)
Never operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product, not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via the oil outlet.
CAUTION
