4. Tighten the nut by turning it clockwise. (fig.6)
5. Check whether all chain links lie correctly in the guide tracks of the bar.
Attention! Tensioning saw chain too tightly will overload the motor and cause damage.
Insufficient tension can cause chain to derail.
Note: The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to ensure safe operation. The
chain tension is optimal if the saw chain can be lifted 2 mm in the centre of the guide bar.
Si
nce the saw chain heats up during the sawing process, whereby its length changes, you
must check the chain tension at least once every 10 min. and adjust it as necessary. This
applies in particular for new saw chains. Slacken the saw chain after work is completed,
because it shortens when cooling down. In doing so, you can prevent damage to the chain.

Attention! Never operate the chain without chainsaw oil! The use of the chainsaw without
c
hainsaw oil or with an oil level (19) below the minimum oil level mark results in damage to
the chainsaw ! (Fig.8) Only use special chainsaw oil.
