the battery using a soft brush that is clean and dry.
To tension the chain [ Fig. M1 /M2 / M3 /M4 ]:
RISK OF BURN INJURIES!
A too tightly tensioned chain can lead to motor overload and damage,
whereas insufficient tensioning can cause the chain to jump off the rail.
A correctly tensioned chain offers the best cutting performance, opti-
mum battery life and a longer service life. Therefore, you should check
the tensioning regularly as the chain may expand when being used
(especially when the chain is new; following first installation, the tension-
ing of the chain must be checked after the chainsaw has been used for
a few minutes).
v However, do not tension the chain immediately after use but
wait until it has cooled down.
