expands and needs to be reclamped.
After finishing the sawing works release tension of saw
chain as in case of cooling too high tensions would emerge
in the saw chain.
 if chain flakers or comes out of the guide clamp it again
immediately.

Clamping of saw chain

Place the power pruner on an even surface as shown
Fold up the handle (3a) and loosen the mounting screw
