Tighten the hexagon socket head cap screw 18.
Fold up the protection for the bottom chain
deflection and tighten it with screw 5 (Fig. 1).
If the saw chain is retensioned after it has heated up,
it is absolutely necessary to slacken it again once
sawing has been completed. Failure to do so would
cause very high shrinkage stresses due to the saw
chain contracting when cooling down to ambient
temperature, in particular if very low outside
temperatures are prevailing.
Until it has elongated, a new saw chain must be
retensioned more frequently than a saw chain that
has already been used for a longer period of time.
4.4 Chain lubrication
Correct lubrication of the saw chain is of major
importance for its life time. A dry running chain will
quickly damage the entire chain set irreparably.
Lubrication is adequate if a trail of oil is visible
between saw chain and guide rail.
It is therefore important to check the chain lubrication
function prior to the start of work and to check the oil
level in the lubricant tank. It may not drop below the
marking placed in cover 12 (Fig. 1) next to inspection
window 14. Only use biodegradable oil for the refill.
The oil tank filling quantity amounts to approx. 0.3
litres.
Danger
If any oil should get into your eyes
during refilling, immediately rinse
them with a copious amount of
water. Spilled oil must be absorbed
with commercial oil binders. Before
adjusting the chain lubrication pull
the power plug!
The flow rate of the built-in oil pump can be adjusted.
A normal dosing rate has been set at the factory,
which can be verified by the fact that an oil trace is
visible between saw chain and guide rail. However, if
necessary, the dosing rate can be changed. Proceed
as follows:
Unfasten

Open the spring-loaded bottom guard flap 15
(Fig. 2) downwards and fasten it with the cover
in open position.
Unscrew the hexagon socket head cap screw
18 (Fig. 2) and remove the Intermediate cover
19 including the oil tank.
Dosing screw 25 (Fig. 4) that is now accessible
at the rear of the intermediate cover can be
used to adjust the oil pump's flow rate. Turning
the screw clockwise increases the flow rate,
turning it anti-clockwise decreases the flow rate.
Refit the intermediate cover 19 (Fig. 2) and
tighten it with hexagon socket head cap screw
18.
Unlock the bottom guard flap 15 (Fig. 2). Fold
up the cover 12 (Fig. 1) and tighten the cylinder
head bolt 13. Fasten combination screw driver
11 in the brackets inside the cover.
Whether the flow rate now meets the
requirements can now be checked by briefly
switching on the machine.
4.5 Setting the parallel stop
The parallel stop 7 (Fig. 1) is used to execute parallel
cuts along the outside edge of the workpiece from a
cutting width of 175 mm (6 57/64 in.). For this
purpose, the narrow edge of the stop must point
downwards.
With adapter 32 (Fig. 12) and guide rail 33 (both
available as special accessories), the stop can be
used from a cutting width in excess of 190 mm (7
31/65 in.).
The stop can be used on both sides of the machine.
To adjust the cutting width or to use it on the other
side of the machine, the two wing screws 8 (Fig. 1)
are unfastened, the parallel stop is moved
accordingly and then the wing screws are retightened
well.
The base plate is equipped with reading edges at all
four slide-in positions on which the markings applied
to the guide rods of the parallel stop can be read off.
In this manner, the parallel stop can be set exactly
parallel to the chain set.
When using the parallel stop on the left-hand side of
the machine, the cutting width is the direct
measurement between the guide surface of the limit
stop and the tracing edge 26 (Fig. 6). This
