RISK OF BURN INJURIES!
A too tightly tensioned chain can lead to motor overload and
damage, whereas insufficient tensioning can cause the chain to
jump off the rail. A correctly tensioned chain offers the best cut-
ting performance, optimum battery life and a longer service
life. Therefore, you should check the tensioning regularly as the
chain may expand when being used (especially when the chain is
new; following first installation, the tensioning of the chain must
be checked after the chainsaw has been used for a few minutes).
v H owever, do not tension the chain immediately after use
but wait until it has cooled down.
1. Lift the chain
should be approx. 2 – 3 mm.

j
wise when the tensioning of the chain is too strong.

if necessary.
