CHAIN MAINTENANCE

Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast cutting chain will provide kickback
reduction when properly maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortlessly, even with very little
pressure. Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain cutter leads to
increased physical strain, increased vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results, and
increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be maintained properly. The chain
requires sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must
be forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During
maintenance of your chain, consider the following:
◾
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of a severe kickback.
◾
Depth gauge clearance. Too low increases the potential for kickback. Not low enough
decreases cutting ability.
◾
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and stones, or have been abraded by
mud or sand on the wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified service technician.
NOTICE:
Inspect the drive sprocket, brake lining for wear or damage when replacing
the chain. If signs of wear or damage are present in the areas indicated, have the drive
sprocket, brake lining replaced by qualified service technician.
How to Sharpen the Cutters
Be careful to file all cutters (Fig. 38) to the
specified angles and to the same length,
as fast cutting can be obtained only when
all cutters are uniform.
1. Disconnect the power plug. Wear
gloves for protection.
2. Make sure that the chain is properly
mounted and the bar nut of the side
cover assembly is fully tightened, and the chain is correctly tensioned.
3. Use a 5/32" (4.0 mm) diameter round file and holder (available separately). Do all
of your filing at the middle position of the guide bar for perfect balance.
4. Keep the file level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock.
