NOTICE:
If the guide bar needs to be
replaced, disassemble the side cover
assembly and reassemble it with the new
guide bar as shown in Fig. 15.
TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
the chain while the motor is running. The
saw chain is very sharp; always wear
protective gloves when performing the chain maintenance.
The saw chain expands or contracts during normal saw operation. Chain tension
changes as a result. Check chain tension regularly during operation and readjust if
necessary.
1. Switch off the chainsaw, engage the chain brake, and disconnect the power plug.
2. Loosen the bar nut until the guide bar can be moved freely.
3. Hold the bar nose up and adjust the tensioning screw until the following points
apply:
a) Chain sag in the center of the bar is
around 3/64 – 5/64" (1 – 2 mm) as
shown (Fig. 16).
b) Disengage the chain brake, ensure
the chain can be pulled along the
bar with two fingers.
NOTICE:
Carefully perform this step to
avoid personal injuries. Due to presence
of magnetic parts in the electric DC motor,
unlike with conventional gasoline chain
saws, when you run the saw chain with two fingers, you will feel a certain amount of
resistance. It is not as smooth as compared with gasoline chain saw.
4. Hold the bar nose up and tighten the bar nut.
NOTICE:
If chain sag in the center of the bar is not 3/64 – 5/64" (1 – 2 mm), readjust
chain tension.
