ages. Before the start of work and in ap-
prox. 10 minute intervals, we recommend
the user to examine the chain tension and
correct it, if necessary.
The chain warms up when working with
the saw and thus expands slightly. These
"expansions" can be expected especially
from newer chains.
Do not re-tighten or change the
chain when it is hot because it
shrinks slightly once it has cooled
down. In case of non-observance,
this can lead to damages on the
guide rail or the engine because
now the chain is too taut on the
blade. Chain tension and chain lu-
brication have a significant impact
on the service life of the chain.
The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can
be rotated completely around with the
gloved hand. When the saw chain is ten-
sioned with 9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap
between the saw chain and the guide rail
may not be more than 2 mm.

1. Ensure that the chain brake has

been released, that is, that the
chain brake lever (3) is pulled up
against the front grip
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (7)

3. To tension the saw chain, turn
the screw (9) for the chain quick-
tensioning system in clockwise
direction.
Chain lubrication
As soon as the motor is speeded up, the
oil also flows faster to the chain bar (
4).
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil level indicator (
regularly and top-up the oil if the mi-
nimum mark „MIN" (
on the oil level indicator. The oil tank
holds about 270 ml of oil.
• Use Deltafox bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
(16).
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center.
• If you have no Deltafox bio-oil avail-
able, use chain lubrication oil with low
adhesive additive content.
• Empty the oil tank before longer peri-
ods (6-8 weeks) of non-use.
To loosen the tension, turn the
screw (9) in counter-clockwise
direction.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (7)
again
(
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.
The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the life-
time of the saw chain is reduced,
since the chain becomes blunt
faster. You can identify a case of
too little oil where smoke develop-
ment or discoloration of the rail
occurs.
