Check chain tension frequently
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
Allow engine to run for a short while at
idle speed so that engine heat can be
dissipated by flow of cooling air. This
protects engine-mounted components
(ignition, carburetor) from thermal
overload.

Chain cold:
Tension is correct when chain fits snugly
against the underside of the bar and can
still be pulled along the bar by hand.
Retension if necessary – see
“Tensioning the Saw Chain”.

different bar lengths, types of wood and

Storing your saw for a short period:
Wait for engine to cool down. To avoid
condensation, fill the fuel tank and keep
the machine in a dry place, well away
from sources of ignition, until you need it
again.
Always slacken off the chain after
finishing work. The chain contracts
as it cools down. If it is not
slackened off, it can damage the
crankshaft and bearings.

:
To increase oil feed – turn adjusting
screw clockwise.
To reduce oil feed – turn adjusting
screw counter-clockwise.
Your chain must always be wetted
with a film of lubricant.
Storing for a long period:
