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.

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 may result in serious personal injury.
ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION
Always switch off the machine and remove the battery before checking or adjusting chain tension. Wear protective gloves
while handling the chain, bar or areas around the chain.
1. Untighten the side cover lock nuts (1) slightly by turning them counterclockwise. You do not need to remove the side
cover (2) in order to adjust the chain tension.
2. Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag. Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the chain adjustment screw
1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does not exist.
3. Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain cover lock nuts by turning them with the wrench.
4. The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be
turned by hand without binding.
NOTE: During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain increases. The drive links of a correctly tensioned
warm chain will hang approximately 1/16 in. (1,58 mm) out of the bar groove.
NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain tension frequently and tension as required.
