Fig 2
The chain must be fitted over the
guide bar so that the cutting edges of
the cutters (a) face in the direction
that the chain runs.
The direction of rotation of the saw chain is indicated by two arrows on the drive-sprocket
cover.
Hold the guide bar with the nose up-wards and place the saw chain so on the blade.
Then put the saw chain round the drive sprocket and place the guide bar with its slot so onto
the threaded studs(11). Replace the drive-sprocket cover(1)and screw on the lock-on hand
wheel (2 and 4) but do not yet tighten them.
Turn the tensioning screw (4)
clockwise to take up any slack in the
saw chain. The chain is correctly
tensioned when it is still possible to
raise it by 3-4mm in the middle of the
guide bar (fig 3).
After tensioning the saw chain turn the nose of the bar upwards and tighten the lock-on hand
wheel (2 and 4) firmly.
8.2 Lubricating oil for the saw chain
 Before starting up your new chain saw, the container must be filled with chain saw oil.
 It allows operating the chain saw at ambient temperatures down to as low as -15°C.
 Never use waste oil for lubricating the saw chain.
 To top the saw up with lubricating oil unscrew the filler cap (3). Make sure that no dirt
gets into the oil container while filling up. The oil level can be checked through the gauge
glass (14)
9 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
 The chain saw has purposely been fitted with a comparatively short power lead to
reduce the risk of the lead being cut by the saw chain while working with the tool.
 It is best to fit the strain relief strap supplied between the plug on the saw’s power lead
and the coupler socket on the extension cord, to prevent the plug from being
unintentionally pulled out of the coupler socket.
 Before plugging the extension cord into the supply socket check the cord for damage
and deterioration. Never operate the chain saw if the supply lead is not in perfect
condition.
 The electricity supply where the chain saw is connected to should be provided with an
earth leakage or residual current device with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.
