Use and Care Manual

Check the sprocket before mounting a new chain.

Worn out sprockets (8) may damage the new chain and must

therefore be replaced.

Remove the sprocket guard (See “PUTTING INTO OPERA-

TION”).

Remove the chain and guide bar.

Remove circlip (9).

CAUTION: The circlip will pop out of the groove. When

removing it, hold your thumb against it to prevent it from

popping o.

Remove shim washer (11).

If the sprocket (8) is worn out, the complete clutch drum (12)

will need to be replaced.

Install a complete new clutch drum (12), shim washer (11)

and new circlip (9).

For replacing the guide bar, chain, and sprocket see “PUT-

TING INTO OPERATION”.

NOTE:

Don’t use a new chain on a worn chain sprocket. By the

time 2 chains have worn, the sprocket has become worn

out, so it should be replaced at least at every second chain

replacement. To distribute the chain oil evenly, run a new

chain at half-throttle for a few minutes before use.

New chains stretch, so check the chain tension frequently

(see “Checking the chain tension”).

Replacing the saw chain

CAUTION: Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw!
