5. Place the saw chain (11) in the groove of the chain-
saw guide bar (12).
6. For assembly, hold the chainsaw guide bar (12)
swivelled upwards at an angle of approx. 45 de-
grees to make it easier to feed the saw chain (11)
into the groove of the chainsaw guide bar (12).
7. Remove the chainsaw guide bar (12) and the saw
chain (11) on the spring tensioner (13).
8. Press the chainsaw guide bar (12) with the saw
chain (11) down to slip the saw chain (11) over the
sprocket (14).
9. When the saw chain (11) is released, it will be auto-
matically tensioned.
10. Fit the chain cover (3) back on.
11. Turn the screw for the chain tensioning system (2)
clockwise until hand tight.
12. Check the seating of the saw chain (11) again and
tighten the screw (2) for the chain tensioning sys-
tem and the chain cover (3).
Note:
With a new saw chain, the tensioning force decreases
after some time. Therefore, you must retension the saw
chain after the first 5 cuts, or after 10 minutes of sawing
at the latest.
12.3
Sharpening the saw chain (11)
WARNING
Increased risk of accidents due to an incor-
rectly sharpened saw chain!
Deviations from the dimensions of the cutting edge
geometry during sharpening increase the risk of kick-
back of the product.
–
Have the saw chain sharpened by a professional.
The saw chain can be resharpened at an authorised
specialist workshop. Do not attempt to sharpen the saw
chain yourself if you do not have a suitable tool and the
necessary experience.
Notes:
A sharp saw chain ensures optimum cutting perfor-
mance. It effortlessly eats through the wood, leaving
behind large, long wood chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to push the cutting
equipment through the wood and the wood chips are
very small. With a very blunt saw chain, no chips are
produced at all, only wood dust.

3. Remove the chainsaw guide bar (12) and the saw
chain (11).
4. Check the grooving on the chain wheel (14) with a
test gauge (not included in the scope of delivery).
5. If the grooves are deeper than a=0.5 mm, do not
use the product and consult a specialist dealer. The
chain wheel (14) must be replaced.
12.5
Checking the chainsaw guide bar
(12) (Fig. 2, 9)

anti-clockwise to slacken the chain tension and re-
move the chain cover (3).
3. Remove the guide bar (12) and the saw chain (11).
4. Measure the groove depth of the chainsaw guide
bar (12) with the scale on a file gauge (not included
in scope of delivery).
5. The chainsaw guide bar (12) must be replaced if
any of the following apply:
– The chainsaw guide bar is damaged.
– The measured groove depth is smaller than the
minimum groove depth of thechainsaw guide
bar (4 mm).
– The groove of the chainsaw guide bar has nar-
rowed or spread.
