be completely unrolled
before starting to work
with the machine. Fix
the cable by inserting it
on the hook provided to
this effect at the back
of the machine. Prolongators longer than 25 m will
reduce the working efficiency of the machine.
6.3.4. TENSING THE CHAIN
Always remove the cable from the mains prior to doing
any maintenance or check up work on the machine.
To avoid injuries when checking the chain, wear
security gloves when mounting, tensing or checking
the chain.
screw clockwise to tense the chain and anticlockwise
to untense the chain until the chain tension is
adequate.
a. In example (A) the chain is too tense.
b. In example (B) the chain is not tense enough.
4. Tighten the nut of the chain cover. Do not tense the
chain too much.
Tensing the chain:
1. Ensure that the
chain is in the inside
of the bar guide.
2. Loosen the nut of
the chain cover.
3. Turn the tensing
37/144
NOTES:
The chain dilates with heat. When the chain is cold
the tension will be more than whe hot. If you tense the
chain when cold, you will have to check the tension
after just a few cuts (the chain will have reached its
working temperature) as it will have expanded when
it heats up and will loosen itself and it could come
out from the bar chain guide. Retense the chain if
necessary.
If the chain is tensed again when hot, you must check
the chain tension when you have finished work as
when the chain cools down it will tend to tense and if
too tense it could damage the chain.
New chains need some time until the teeth adapt
and this could modify slightly the length of the chain.
This adaptation takes only a couple of minyes when
in use. If you have just changed the chain, remember
to check the tension of the chain after a couple of
minutes using the machine.
6.4. START UP AND STOPPAGE
Security button.
ON/OFF switch.
Letting go of the on/off switch will stop the chain
of the machine in 0.15s. When the switch is not
functioning the conexion of the engine to the chain is
stopped thanks to a clutch. You will observe that the
chain stops even although the engine has not stopped
until a few moments later.
English
