Preparing Your AlligatorLopperTM For Use

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury

WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental operation, ensure that the tool is disconnected from the power source before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.

Chain tension adjustment (fig. A)

WARNING: Before chain or other adjustments, make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged.

If the chain can not be correctly tensioned, it may need to be replaced. Contact your nearest service center.

The product comes ready assembled. However we recommend that you check the tension of the chain, and chain retention nuts before use and if required adjust.

Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. A)

To tension the chain slacken the two chain cover retention nuts (11) with the wrench (2) and the chain tensioning device will push the chain bar out, setting the correct tension. Retighten the two retention nuts (11) securely.

Check that the correct tension has been set by lightly pulling on the chain. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8” inch (3 mm) away from the guide bar. There should be no "sag" between the guide bar and chain on the underside.

Note: Do not over tension the chain as this will lead to excessive wear and reduce the life of the bar and chain. It will also lead to reduced product performance.

Note: With first use and when the chain is new, check tension frequently as a new chain stretches slightly.
