ASSEMBLY
18 – English
Fitting the bar and chain
• Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position
by moving the front hand guard towards the front
handle.
• Unscrew the bar nut and remove the clutch cover
(chain brake). Take off the transportation guard.
• Fit the bar over the bar bolt. Place the bar in its
rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive
sprocket and in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top
side of the bar.
• Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
• Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and locate the chain
adjuster pin in the cut-out in the bar. Check that the
drive links of the chain fit correctly on the drive
sprocket and that the chain is in the groove on the bar.
Tighten the bar nut finger-tight.
• Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. See
instructions under the heading Tensioning the chain.
• The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no
slack on the underside of the bar, and it can still be
turned easily by hand. Tighten the bar nut with the
combination spanner while holding up the tip of the
bar.
• When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
Note: If clutch cover is difficult to remove, tighten bar
nut(s), engage brake and rerelease (an audible click will
be heard if released properly).
Assembling the handle insert
• To make the upper handle suit different hand sizes,
the chain saw is available with three different handle
insert sizes - M, L and XL. The L size is fitted to the
chain saw when it is delivered. Contact your service
workshop to change the size of the handle insert.
Assembling the belt eyelet
The chain saw is fitted with two eyelets on the rear edge
of the chain saw cover, a rope eyelet and a belt eyelet. The
rope eyelet is fitted on delivery.
The belt eyelet is not fitted on delivery and is used by
chain saw users as a simple way to fasten the saw to a
belt or a harness. For more information, please see the
Working techniques section.
To fit a belt eyelet - contact your service agent.
