6.2. MOUNTING THE MACHINE
6.2.1. MOUNTING THE BAR AND CHAIN
The chain of the machine has very sharp teeth.
Always use security gloves to avoid accidental cuts.
Make sure the machine is not connected to the
mains before doing any maintenance or other work
on the machine. The bar and chain are supplied
separately. To mount them, follow the following steps:
1. Activate the chain brake pushing forward until you
hear a click sound.
2. Loosen the nut of the chain cover and remove the
chain cover.
3. Place the chain on the bar.
Before mounting the chain on the bar, make sure
the direction of the chains teeth are facing correctly.
The correct position of the chain will have the cutting
edges facing clockwise.
4. Mount the bar (with the chain fitted) introducing
the tensing pin (B) in the hole of the bar and
placing the chain around the attacking pinion.
5. Place the bar cover back in place ensuring the
tensing pin is still in the hole of the bar.
6. Place the bar cover nut back in place but do not
tighten fully.
7. Tense the chain, for this follow the instructions
under 6.3.4.
8. Tighten the bar cover nut fully.
9. Check that the chain slides along the bar
maimtaining at all times the tension when you
move it with your gloved hands. If needed, repeat
the process until the chain is mounted correctly.
New chains have a certain dilatation when first
used. Verify and regulate the tenion of the chain
regularly. An incorrectly tensed chain will wear out
quickly and will also wear out the guide of the bar.
