marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with
head protection. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts could create a
hazard or cause product damage.
NOTICE:
Periodically inspect the entire product for dam-
aged, missing, or loose parts such as screws,
nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Tighten securely all fas-
teners and caps and do not operate this product
until all missing or damaged parts are replaced.

service center for assistance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which could
result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

All chain saw service, other than the items listed in
the instruction manual maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw
service personnel. (For example, if improper tool
is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove
the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could
occur and subsequently could cause the flywheel
to burst).

CHAIN TENSION

See Figures 11 - 12.
WARNING:
To avoid possible serious injury, never touch or
adjust the chain while the motor is running. The
saw chain is very sharp; always wear protec-
tive gloves when performing maintenance to
the chain.
 Stop the motor and disconnect from power sup-
ply before setting the chain tension. Make sure
the chain cover screw is loose to finger tight,
turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to
tension the chain. Refer to Replacing the Bar
and Chain for additional information.
NOTE: A cold chain is correctly tensioned when
there is no slack on the underside of the guide
bar, the chain is snug, but it can be turned by
hand without binding.
