NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure that the adjusting pin
is in the chain tension pin hole.
The tension of saw chain (1) is important both for your safety and for the function of the cordless
chainsaw. A correctly tensioned saw chain will increase the lifetime of your equipment.
Check the chain tension before each use of the cordless pruner.
Always check the saw chain tension before use, after the first cuts and regularly during use,
approx, every five cuts. Upon initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably. This is
normal during the break-in period and the interval between future adjustments will lengthen
quickly.
▪ Place the product on a suitable flat surface with the chain sprocket cover (11) facing
towards you.
▪ Check the chain tension using one hand to lift the saw chain (1) against the weight of the
product. The correct chain tension is achieved when the saw chain can be lifted by
approximately 2-4 mm from the guide bar (2) in the centre.(fig.5)
NOTE: The chain tension in new saw chains must be readjusted after a short
operating period.
NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the chain cover lock knob
slightly and turn the chain tensioning wheel 1/4 turn anti clockwise. Lift the
tip of the guide bar up and retighten the chain cover lock knob. Ensure that
the chain will rotate without binding.
10.3 Lubricating oil for the saw chain (Fig. 6)
▪ Before starting up your new chain saw, the container must be filled with chain saw oil.
(Available in our product range: POWOIL003 - 1L & POWOIL006 - 5L)
▪ It allows operating the chain saw at ambient temperatures down to as low as -15°C.
▪ Never use waste oil for lubricating the saw chain.
▪ To top the saw up with lubricating oil unscrew the filler cap. Make sure that no dirt gets
into the oil container while filling up. The oil level can be checked through the gauge glass.
10.4 Attaching the shoulder strap (Fig.7)
▪ Attach the carabiner hook of the shoulder strap (25) to the shoulder strap buckle (23).
▪ Quick release can press the buckle on shoulder strap (25).
