TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN

5.3. Regularly tightening the saw chain provides safety for the user and reduces and/or prevents wear and chain damages. Before the
start of work and in approx. 10 minute intervals, we recommend the user to examine the chain tension and correct it, if necessary. The
chain warms up when working with the saw and thus expands slightly. These "expansions" can be expected especially from newer
chains.
DO NOT re-tighten or change the chain when it is hot because it shrinks slightly once it has cooled down. In case of non-observance,

this can lead to damages on the guide rail or the engine because now the chain is too taut on the blade. Chain tension and chain
lubrication have a significant impact on the service life of the chain.
5.4. The chain is correctly tensioned if it does not sag at the rail underside and can be rotated completely around with the gloved hand.
When the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between the saw chain and the guide rail may not be more than
2 mm.
5.5. Switch off the device and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance work.
5.6. Tensioning the saw chain (6) by turning the screw (14) clockwise.
5.7. The chain tension of a new saw chain must be readjusted after a maximum of 5 cuts
