- Ajustar la tensión de la cadena:
Use the chain tensioning screw (usually located on the side cover) to adjust the chain tension. The chain should be snug against the guide bar but still able to be pulled freely by hand.
Once tension is correct, fully tighten the side cover bolt.
- Fill Oil Reservoir:
Localice la tapa del depósito de aceite en el cuerpo de la motosierra.
Fill the reservoir with high-quality bar and chain oil. Do not use motor oil or other lubricants.
