INSTALLING (REPLACING) SAW
CHAIN
WARNING
○ To prevent accidents, always switch the unit off , and
remove the storage battery.
○ Don't use the saw chain or the guide bar other than
those specifi ed in "SPECIFICATIONS".
○ Don't use Back Pack Power Supply (BL36200) and AC/
DC Adapter (ET36A). Their confi guration tends to wrap
the cable around the user and injury may occur.
CAUTION
Wear thick gloves and be careful to avoid injury with the
saw chain.
NOTE
○ When removing the saw chain, remove sawdust from
the oil spout, oil hole, and guide bar groove.
If sawdust accumulates, this may cause the unit to fail.
○ Use the correct type of saw chain in accordance with
the specifi cations.
If you install the wrong type of guide bar, the saw chain
may come off and injury may occur.
1. Removing the side cover (Fig. 6)
Turn the knob and remove the side cover.
2. Removing the saw chain and guide bar (Fig. 7)
Rotate the tension dial in the "-" direction to introduce
a small amount of slack in the saw chain, then detach
from the sprocket. Detach along with the guide bar in
the direction indicated by the arrow.
3. Engaging the new saw chain in the sprocket
(Fig. 8)
Attach the saw chain from the guide bar tip. Make sure
the saw chain is oriented so that the blade faces in the
direction shown in the illustration below the sprocket.
Insert the bolt and chain tensioner boss into the hole in
the guide bar while holding the chain and guide bar tip.
Engage the end of the saw chain to the sprocket and
mount the guide bar to the saw body.
4. Installing the side cover (Fig. 9)
Attach the side cover by inserting the lug into the slot in
the saw body. Make sure the saw chain does not come
loose from the guide bar.
Rotate the knob once to temporarily fi x it.
Remove any dirt around the side cover before
reattaching.
5. Adjusting the saw chain tension (Fig. 10)
○ While lifting the guide bar tip, turn the tension dial to
adjust the saw chain tension.
○ Turn the tension dial to the "+" to increase the saw chain
tension, and to the "-" to decrease it.
6. Checking the saw chain tension (Fig. 11)
Adjust the saw chain tension so that the gap between
the saw chain drive link and the guide bar is 0.5 to 1 mm
when you lift the saw chain slightly near the center of
the guide bar.
7. Securing the knob (Fig. 12)
When adjustment is complete, lift up the guide bar, and
fully tighten the knob.
WARNING
After adjusting the saw chain tension, ensure the knob
is fully tightened.
If it is loose, injury may occur.
INSPECTION AND PREPARATION
PRIOR TO USE
Prior to use, make the following inspection and preparation.
WARNING
○ To prevent accidents, always perform steps 1 to 3
ensuring the storage battery is removed from the body.
○ Do not secure the lock-off button while it is pressed.
If the switch is accidentally engaged, the unit may
unexpectedly start and injury may occur.
1. Ensuring the switch is off
○ If you insert the storage battery without knowing
whether the switch is engaged, the unit may
unexpectedly start, which may result in an accident.
○ When the switch is engaged while pressing the lock-
off button, the unit switches on, and when the switch is
released, the unit switches off .
2. Checking the saw chain tension
○ If the saw chain tension is incorrect, there is a risk of
damage to the saw chain or guide bar and malfunction.
Referring to steps 5 to 7 "Installing (replacing) saw
chain," ensure an appropriate tension is set.
○ While the saw chain is still new, it is particularly
stretchy, so periodically check the tension and adjust
as required.
○ Also check the knob is securely tightened.
3. Checking the chain oil
○ This unit is delivered without chain oil inside. Ensure
the oil tank is fi lled with the chain oil provided before
use. (Fig. 13)
○ Periodically check the oil sight glass during work and
replenish oil as required.
○ If the chain oil supplied runs out, use HiKOKI chain oil
sold separately or equivalent chain oil on the market.
○ The chain oil lubricates automatically.
The discharge rate for auto lubrication is factory preset
to the maximum.
To reduce the discharge rate, turn the oil pump adjuster
on the right side of the oil sight glass clockwise.
(Fig. 14)
NOTE
○ The oil tank capacity is about 100 ml.
Make sure no oil leaks or overfl ows from the oil tank
when replenishing the chain oil.
○ We recommend that you stock up with chain oil.
If you continue working without chain oil, the saw chain
may burn through, or the motor may fail.
○ Be careful to avoid dust or other foreign matter from
entering the oil tank.
If dust and other foreign matter enter the oil tank, the
unit may fail.
○ Chain oil left in the tank may leak due to the structure of
this unit. Although this does not indicate a malfunction,
it may soil the storage location, so be careful.
When storing, empty the oil from the oil tank, and place
an item under the main body which can absorb any
leaks.
4. Installing the storage battery (Fig. 4)
As shown in Fig. 4, push fi rmly until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
Securely attach the storage battery.
If the storage battery is not securely attached, it may
come off and injury may occur.
