MS 201 C-M

English

N Fit chain around the sprocket (1)

and over the guide bar – the cutting

edges on top of the bar must point to

the bar nose.

N Turn the screw (2) clockwise until

there is very little chain sag on the

underside of the bar – and the drive

link tangs are engaged in the bar

groove.

N Refit the chain sprocket cover –

the pivot pin on the hand guard must

engage the sleeve – and then screw

the nut onto the stud finger-tight.

N Go to chapter on "Tensioning the

Saw Chain"

Retensioning during cutting work:

N Switch off the engine.

N Loosen the nut.

N Hold the bar nose up.

N Use a screwdriver to turn the

tensioning screw (1) clockwise until

the chain fits snugly against the

underside of the bar.

N While still holding the bar nose up,

tighten down the nut firmly.

N Go to "Checking Chain Tension".

A new chain has to be retensioned more

often than one that has been in use for

some time.

N Check chain tension frequently –

see chapter on "Operating

Instructions".
