Tensioning the chain
•
Important! Always pull out the spark boot plug be- fore performing any checks or adjustments.
•
Undo the fastening screw (I) of the chain wheel cover by a few turns.
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (K). Turning the screw clockwise increases the
chain tension, turning it counter clockwise decreases the chain tension. The chain is correctly
tensioned if it can be raised by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar.

Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover.
•
Important! All the chain links must lie properly in the guide groove of the cutter bar.

Notes on tensioning the chain
•
The chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. When the saw chain can be raised by
around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter bar, you know that the chain tension is ideal. During cutting,
the temperature of the chain rises and its length changes.
It is important therefore to check the chain tension at least every 10 minutes and to adjust it again as
required. This applies to new saw chains. When you have finished working, slacken the chain again as it
will shorten when it cools down. This will help to prevent damage to the chain.
k. Backpack

Install the backpack on the frame of the tool

When standing in a normal working posture, the blade should touch the ground during normal working
position.

To fit the backpacks to your body size, adjust the straps at the carrying strap.
•
ATTENTION! In an emergency, the safety button can be pressed from the harness. The machine then
detaches immediately from the carrying strap and falls to the ground.
