Chain cold
Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar and can still be pulled along the bar by hand. Retension if necessary – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Chain at operating temperature
The chain stretches and begins to sag. The drive links must not come out of the bar groove – the chain may otherwise jump off the bar. Retension the chain – see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Always slacken off the chain after finishing work. The chain
contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it can damage the crankshaft and bearings.
After long period of
Allow engine to run for a short while at idle speed so that engine heat can be dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This protects
After finishing work
NSlacken off the chain if you have retensioned it at operating temperature during cutting work.
The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the crankshaft and bearings.
Storing your saw for a short period
Wait for the engine to cool down. To avoid condensation, fill the fuel tank and keep the machine in a dry place, well away from sources of ignition, until you need it again.
Storing for a long period
See chapter on "Storing the Machine"
Oil Quantity Control
Adjustable flow oil pump is a special option.
Different quantities of oil are required for different bar lengths, types of wood and cutting techniques.

Use the adjusting screw (1) (on underside of machine) to vary the oil feed rate as required.
Ematic position (E), medium oil flow rate
–
Nturn the adjusting screw to "E" (Ematic position).
To increase oil feed –
Nturn the adjusting screw clockwise. Turn reduce oil feed –
Nturn the adjusting screw counterclockwise.
The chain must always be wetted with a film of lubricant.
