data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your 
particular chain.

•

The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before 
adjusting the depth gauge setting. 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. We 
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to 
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for 
the depth gauge.

•

Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed 
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool, 
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool. 
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that 
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth 
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel 
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge 
tool.

The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is 
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up 
the slack.

Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A 
new chain has a running-in period during which you 
should check the tension more frequently.

Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight 
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.

•

Loosen the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain 
brake. Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the 
bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.

•

Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by 
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the 
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does 
not sag from the underside of the bar.

•

Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts 
while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check 
that you can pull the 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 chain 
saws varies from model to model. See instructions under 
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your 
model.

Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain 
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of 
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.

As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an 
optimal chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. We 
recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum 
chain life and to minimise environmental damage. If our 
own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is 
recommended.
