• Side cover

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Assembly

• Fit the chain bar onto the chainsaw body at a slight offset angle
• Loop the chain around the drive sprocket
• Seat the chain into the groove of the chain bar
• Ensure the chain sits correctly on both the sprocket and bar
• Align the bar with the chain tensioning screw
• Fit the side cover onto the chainsaw body
• Hand-tighten the side cover nuts (do not fully tighten yet)

Important: Ensure the chain is correctly seated before tightening.

Step 2: Chain Tensioning

• Use the multi-tool to turn the chain adjustment screw clockwise
• Tighten until the chain is properly tensioned
• Check chain tension by gently pulling the chain away from the bar
• Tighten the side cover nuts securely once correct tension is achieved
• Engage the chain brake before further handling

Correct tension allows smooth movement without sagging or binding.

Step 3: Cable Strain Relief

• Loop the power cable through the rear strain relief point
• Hook the cable securely and pull it outward to lock it in place
• Connect the extension cable to the mains supply

Important: Always ensure the cable is secured to prevent accidental disconnection during use.

Important Safety Information

• Always disconnect from mains power before adjusting the chain
• Never overtighten the chain
• Ensure the chain brake is engaged before handling
• Check chain lubrication before operation
• Wear appropriate protective equipment during use

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won’t my chain move after assembly?

This is usually caused by the chain brake being engaged or incorrect chain tension. Check both before use.

How tight should the chain be?

The chain should sit snug on the bar but still move freely by hand when the brake is released.

Do I need to tighten the side cover before tensioning?

No. Leave it hand-tight until the chain is correctly tensioned, then fully secure it.

What happens if the chain is too loose?

A loose chain may derail from the bar during use and must be re-tensioned immediately.

Why is cable strain relief important?

It prevents accidental unplugging and reduces strain on the chainsaw’s power connection during operation.
