To prevent injury on the sharp cutting edges, always wear gloves when assembling,
tensioning and checking the chain. Before assembling the guide bar with the saw chain,
check the cutting direction of the teeth! The running direction is marked with an arrow
on the Fig 1. To determine the direction of cut, it may be necessary to turn over the saw
chain (4). Hold the guide bar (7) vertically with the tip pointing upwards and put on the
saw chain (4) beginning at the tip of the bar. Then assemble the guide bar with the saw
chain as follows: Place the guide bar with the saw chain on the guide bolt (17) and chain
tensioning bolt (18). Place the saw chain round the chain wheel (16) and make sure it is
correctly mounted. Place the guide bar cover (6) on top and tighten gently with the lock
knob (5) by hand. Now the saw chain has to be correctly tensioned.
Tensioning the saw chain
Always pull the plug out of the power socket before doing any work on the chainsaw!
Wear safety gloves! Make sure the saw chain (4) is inside the guide groove of the
guide bar (7) (Fig.1)! Turn the lock knob (5) clockwise by hand until the saw chain
is correctly tensioned. Do not tension the chain too tightly. When cold, it should be
possible to lift the chain in the middle of the guide bar approx 5 mm. Tighten the guide
bar cover (6) securely. When warm, the saw chain will expand and slacken and there is
a danger of it jumping off the rail altogether. Re-tension if necessary. If the saw chain
is re-tensioned when hot, it must be loosened again when the sawing work has been
completed. Otherwise, the contraction which takes place as the chain cools would
result in excessively high tension. A new saw chain requires a running-in period of
approx .5 minutes. Chain lubrication is very important at this stage. After running in,
check chain tension and re-tension if necessary.Always pull the plug out of the power

Filling in chain oil
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil tank cap (21) before opening. Check
the contents of the oil tank during sawing work by checking the oil gauge (15). Close
the oil tank cap tightly and wipe away any spills.To prevent dirt getting inside the tank,
