Tensioning The Saw Chain; Replacing A Worn Saw Chain And Sharpening Stone - Oregon CS1500-092 Manual Original De Instrucciones

Tensioning the Saw Chain

IMPORTANT: Only tension the saw chain
when the chain is cool. A hot chain may
contract and damage the guide bar or
chain as it cools.
If the chain does not touch the underside of the
bar when the chainsaw is off and cool, it should
be tensioned.
Tension the chain as described in "Tensioning
the Saw Chain" in the "Preparing for Use"
section of the manual.
Replacing a Worn Saw Chain
and Sharpening Stone
CAUTION: Replace PowerSharp
chain and the sharpening stone at the
same time. Failure to do so could result in
decreased performance or damage to the
chain and/or sharpening stone.
CAUTION: The PowerSharp integrated
sharpening system is for use only
with PowerSharp chain. Remove the
sharpening stone when using saw chain
other than PowerSharp. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the saw chain,
sharpening system and/or chainsaw.
When the saw chain becomes cracked or has
broken teeth, is stretched to the point that
it cannot be kept at proper tension or simply
cannot be sharpened, it must be replaced.
Wear gloves.

• Loosen the chain tensioning ring (turn it anti-
clockwise) as far as it will go.
• Loosen the side cover release knob and
remove the side cover.
