tension. Lift tip of guide bar while adjusting tension. (12)
•
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is
worn out and should be replaced. (8)

General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting (7)
Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning. (14)
•
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth gauge
setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting
performance the depth gauge (B) has to be filed down
to achieve the recommended depth gauge setting. See
instructions under the heading Technical data to find the
correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
!
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
!
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an
optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also
biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for
both maximum chain life and to minimise environmental
damage. If our own chain oil is not available, standard
chain oil is recommended.
•
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that
you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you
sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not
reduced excessively.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous
to you and damage the machine and environment.
•
•
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain
oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw
chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a
risk of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the
saw chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket
jamming.
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.
Filling with chain oil
•
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
Tensioning the chain
•
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so
that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
and cause serious or even fatal injury.
!
!
However, this safety feature requires that you use the
right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as
recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel
lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the
recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long
will use more chain oil).
WARNING! Always wear approved
protective gloves. Even a non-moving
chain can cause serious cuts to yourself
or persons you bump into with an
exposed chain.
Checking chain lubrication
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light
surface.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A
new chain has a running-in period during which you should
check the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that
If the chain lubrication is not working:
you cannot pull it round freely by hand. (9)
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
•
•
Release the knob by folding it out. (10)
Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover.
•
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
