(see Fig. 10 to 14)

ATTENTION! Before cleaning or maintenance works always pull the plug out of mains

socket.

ATTENTION! When manipulating with chain use protective gloves!

ATTENTION! Clean saw regularly.

ATTENTION! Released chain can get out of the groove and cause serious injury or, in

extreme cases, one‘s life can be put in jeopardy.

Disassemble quick tightening handgrip (Fig. 10, 1) and remove chain drive cover.

Place the chain (Fig. 11, 2) at guide tip so that teeth points at the upper side of the guide direct

upwards.

Hold the chain above guide tip (Fig. 12, 3) and place the rear guide end opposite the sprocket

so that its angle towards driving head is 45°. Wind the chain end around the sprocket, slide

the guide through a connecting bolt against the driving head, and insert the chain in the

guiding groove.

Put the pin (Fig. 13, 4) in the guide respective.

Attach chain drive cover (Fig. 13, 5).

Tighten slightly fast tightening handgrip, tighten the chain by turning sprocket wheel

(Fig. 14, 6) clockwise.

The indication of properly tightened chain is that it fully sits on the guide but at the same time

it can be easily lifted by hand from the guide (Fig. 14, 7).

Lift guide tip and at the same time tighten sprocket wheel and then tighten fast tightening

handgrip (Fig. 14, 8).

Tightening of newly placed chain must be checked regularly until it fits in its place. Check it

regularly further on as it has principal effect on saw performance and lifetime.

Chain tightening gets loosen through its use. That is why it should be tightened regularly.

Check chain tightening at least whenever you refill chain lubrication oil.
