Safety instructions for the cutting equipment WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product. • Only use the guide bar/saw chain combinations and filing equipment that we recommend. Refer to Filing equipment and filing angles on page 35 for instructions. • Use protective gloves when you use or do maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that does not move can also cause injuries. • Keep the cutting teeth correctly sharpened. Obey the instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A saw chain that is damaged or incorrectly sharpened increases the risk of accidents. • Make sure that the saw chain has the correct tension. If the saw chain is not tight against the guide bar, the saw chain can derail. An incorrect saw chain tension increases wear on the guide bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket. Refer to To adjust the tension of the saw chain on page 28. • Do maintenance on the cutting equipment regularly and keep it correctly lubricated. If the saw chain is not correctly lubricated, the risk of wear on the guide bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases. • Keep the correct depth gauge setting. Obey the instructions and use the recommended depth gauge setting. Too large depth gauge setting increases the risk of kickback. Assembly Introduction WARNING: Read and understand the safety chapter before you assemble the product. To assemble the guide bar and saw chain 1. Move the front hand guard rearward to disengage the chain brake. 2. Remove the bar nuts and the clutch cover. Note: If the clutch cover is not easy to remove, tighten the bar nut, engage the chain brake and release. A click is heard if it is released correctly. 3. Assemble the guide bar onto the bar bolts. Move the guide bar to its most rear position. 4. Install the saw chain correctly around the drive sprocket and put it in the groove on the guide bar. WARNING: Always use protective gloves when you assemble the saw chain. 544 - 005 - 10.05.2019 9
