Adjusting the chain tension
The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Assembly,
tension-
ing chainsaw.
Starting up a new saw chain
In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore,
you have to re-tension the chain after the

Never attach a new chain
to a worn drive pinion or
place onto a damaged or
worn chain bar. The chain
could spring back or break,
potentially leading to serious
injury.

Maintaining the chain
bar
Use cut-protection gloves
when handling the chain or
the chain bar.
1. Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug (12).
2. Remove the sprocket chain wheel cov-
ering (8), the saw chain (5) and the
chain bar (4).
3. Check the chain bar (4) for wear. Re-
move burrs and straighten the guide

4. Clean the oil passages (
26) of
the chain bar, in order to guarantee a
trouble-free, automatic oiling of the saw
chain during operation.
5. Mount chain bar (4), chainsaw (5) and
sprocket chain wheel covering (8) and
tighten the chainsaw.
