General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
• When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the
raker clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal
cutting performance you must file back the raker lip to
the recommended height. See instructions under the
heading Technical data to find the correct depth gauge
setting for your particular chain.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
!
increased if the raker clearance is too
large!
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
• The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the raker clearance every third time
you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not
reduced excessively.
• You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
• Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tensioning the chain
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
!
and cause serious or even fatal injury.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A
new chain has a running-in period during which you
should check the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
• Loosen the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain
brake. Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the
bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.
• Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does
not sag from the underside of the bar.
• Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts
while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check
