nose radius on page 38 to find the correct depth gauge
setting for your particular chain.
WARNING: The risk of kickback is increased
if the depth gauge setting is too large!
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Sharpen the cutting teeth before adjusting the depth
gauge setting. See heading
on page 30 . We recommend that you adjust the depth
gauge setting every third time you sharpen the cutting
teeth.
Note: This recommendation assumes that the length of
the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust
the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you use
our depth gauge tool to acheive the correct depth gauge
setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
1. Place the depth gauge tool over the saw chain.
Detailed information regarding how to use the depth
gauge tool, will be found on the package of the depth
gauge tool.
2. File off the tip of the depth gauge that protrudes
through the depth gauge tool. Use the flat file.
The depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer
feel resistance as you draw the file along the depth
gauge tool.
To tension the saw chain
WARNING: A slack saw chain may jump off
and cause serious injury or death.

To sharpen the cutting teeth
The more you use a saw chain the longer it becomes. It
is therefore important to adjust the saw chain regularly
to take up the slack.
Do a check of the saw chain tension every time you
refuel. Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not
so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
Note: A new saw chain has a running-in period during
which you should do a check of the tension more
frequently.
1. Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain
brake. Use the combination spanner.
2. Tighten the bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.
3. Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the saw chain by
tightening the chain tensioning screw. Use the
combination spanner. Tighten the saw chain until it
does not sag from the underside of the bar.
4. Tighten the bar nuts using the combination spanner
and lift the tip of the bar at the same time.
5. Make sure that you can pull the saw chain round
freely by hand and that it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our
chainsaws varies from model to model. See instructions
