Adjusting the chain tension
1. Loosen the guide bar lock knob
slightly, by rotating it in an anti
clockwise direction.
CAUTION:
IF YOU TRY TO ROTATE THE CHAIN TENSIONING
ADJUSTMENT DIAL WHILST THE CHAIN COVER LOCK IS
TIGHT, IT WILL RESULT IN THE CHAIN NOT LOOSENING
AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE MECHANISM.
2. Adjust the chain tension with
the chain tensioning adjustment
dial. Turning the dial CLOCKWISE
increases the chain tension,
turning it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
decreases the chain tension.
For the correct chain tension,
firmly pull up on the chain at
the middle of the top of the
exposed guide bar. When
the chain is pulled up to its
highest point, the bottom tip
of the links should only just
stay in the track [middle of the
guide bar]
3. After the chain has been accurately
tensioned, lock the guide bar in
place with the guide bar lock knob.
IMPORTANT:
IT IS VITAL FOR THE PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION OF THE CHAINSAW THAT THE CHAIN IS
TENSIONED CORRECTLY.

2. OIL
IMPORTANT:
ONLY USE OIL THAT IS EXPRESSLY LABELLED
"CHAIN BAR OIL".
1. Remove the chain bar oil cap.
3. Refit cap and clean any oil
spillage.
4. Always fill the oil tank when the
oil level is below the minimum
mark on the oil level window.
WARNING!:
NEVER START WORK UNLESS THE
CHAIN AND BAR ARE LUBRICATED
5. To check the lubricating system,
switch on the chainsaw and hold
it with the guide bar and chain
above some light coloured paper
such as newspaper. A steadily
increasing stain caused by oil
spray shows the lubricating
system is working.
Note:
Chain bar oil may leak if the tool is left for long periods. This is
normal. If the tool is to be left unused for an extended time, drain
the oil from the tool. Refill before use.
2. Fill the tank with chain bar oil.
The capacity of the chain oil
tank is 225ml. Do not over fill.
