SETUP & PREPARATION
2. CHAIN TENSION
WARNING!
ENSURE THE TOOL IS TURNED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
Tensioning the Chain
1. Unscrew the side cover lock a few
turns to ensure it is loose.
2. Adjust the chain tension with the
chain tensioning dial. Rotating the dial
downwards increases the tension and
rotating the dial up decreases the chain
tension.
The tension is correct when the chain
can be pulled 3mm away from the
guide bar when using your finger and
thumb.
Do not over-tighten as this will
reduce the life of the chain and guide
bar.
WARNING!
ALL THE CHAIN LINKS MUST LIE
PROPERLY IN THE GROOVE OF THE GUIDE BAR.
3. Tighten the side cover lock.
WARNING!:
THE CHAIN SHOULD BE ADJUSTED
BEFORE FIRST USE, AGAIN AFTER 2 - 3 MINUTES
OF OPERATION AND RECHECKED AND ADJUSTED IF
NECESSARY AFTER EACH 30 MINUTES OF USE. TAKE CARE
NOT TO OVER TENSION THE CHAIN.

3. Refit cap and clean any oil spillage.
4. Always fill the oil tank when the oil
level falls below the minimum mark
on the oil level window.
Note:
Always check the oil level
window before and during the use of
the chainsaw.
WARNING!
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
52
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.
ONLY USE OIL THAT IS EXPRESSLY

2
bar oil, ensuring that no dirt
enters the tank. The capacity
of the chain oil tank is 160ml.
