-Position the sprocket guard (G/2).
Manually tighten the two fastening nuts (G/I).
Checking the chain tension @ 0 (&
-The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar and can still be easily turned by hand.
-While doing so the chain brake must be released.
-Check the chain tension in short intervalls because new chains tend to elongate.
-When checkingthe chain tensionthe engine must beswitch-

Chain brake
The DCS 9000 comes with an inertia chain brake as standard equipment. The chain brake engages automatically in case of kickback, which is caused by the tip contacting wood while the saw is running.
The chain will stop within a fraction of a second.
The chain brake i s installed to block the saw chain before starting it and to stop it immediately i n case of an emergen-
CY.
Tightening the chain
-Slightly lift the end of the guide bar and turn the chain adjusting screw (H/4) to the right (clockwise) until the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar.
-Continue to lift the guide bar end and firmly tighten the two fastening nuts (G/1) by means of the universal wrench.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use
In order to guarantee a uniform wear of the guide bar the bar should be turned over whenever replacing the chain.
Actuating the chain brake (blocking)
In case of a kickback the chain brake is automatically actuated by the moment of inertia of the hand guard (W3).
When actuating the chain brake manually, press the hand guard (W3) with your left hand in the direction of the guide bar end (arrow 1).
Releasing the chain brake
Pull the hand guard (W3) in the direction of the tubular handle (arrow 2) until it will engage noticeably. Now the chain break is released.
