Tensioning the chain
General advice on setting raker clearance
•
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting
performance you must file back the raker lip to the
recommended height.
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and
cause serious or even fatal injury.
!

•
•
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
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.
•
On a low-kickback cutting link the front edge of the raker
lip is rounded. It is very important that you maintain this
radius or bevel when you adjust the raker clearance.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
•
We recommend that you use our raker gauge to achieve
the correct clearance and bevel on the raker lip.
•
-
Undo the bar nut.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased
if the raker clearance is too large!
!
Setting the raker clearance
-
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The
chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from
the underside of the bar.
•
•
Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should
be newly sharpened.
We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every
third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting
teeth is not reduced excessively.
To adjust the raker clearance you will need a flat file and a
raker gauge.
•
Place the gauge over the raker lip.
