GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. (25)
Tensioning the chain

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
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand. (26)
435
•Loosen the bar nut that holds the clutch cover and chain brake. Use the combination spanner. Then retighten the bar nut as tightly as you can by hand.
(27)
•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. (28)
•Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull the saw chain round freely by hand, and that there is no slack on the underside of the bar. (29)
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.
435e, 440e
•Release the knob by folding it out. (30)
•Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover.
(31)
•Adjust the tension on the chain by turning the wheel down (+) for tighter tension and up
•Tighten the bar clutch by turning the knob clockwise.
(33)
•Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning. (34)
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
! equipment may cause the chain to snap, which could lead to serious, even fatal injuries.
Chain oil
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.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to you and damage the machine and environment.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain before
Filling with chain oil
•All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.
•The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended (a weak mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil). The above conditions also apply to chain saw models with an adjustable oil pump.
