GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
14 – English
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
• The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that
you adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you
sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not
reduced excessively.
• You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that y
ou use our depth gauge tool to acheiv
e
the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth
gauge.
• Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
infor
mation regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.
Tensioning the chain
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 per
iod during which you should check
the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that
you cannot pull it round freely b
y hand.

• Loosen the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain
brake. Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the
bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.
• Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by
tightening the chain tensioning scre
w using the
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not
sag from the underside of the bar.
• Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts
while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time.
Check that
you can pull the chain round freely by hand and that it
does not sag from the underside of the bar.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws
v
ar
ies from model to model. See instructions under the
heading What is what? to find out where it is on your model.
