CHECK CHAIN TENSION
WARNING:
Wear protective
gloves when handling
chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you even
when it is not moving..
Chain tension is very important.
Chain
stretches during use. This is especially
true during the first few times you use
your saw. Always check chain tension
each time you use your saw.
1. Unplug unit from the power source.
2.
Use a screwdriver
to move chain
around guide bar to ensure kinks
do not exist. The chain should ro-
tate freely.
NOTE: It is recommended
that the saw
be turned upside down for chain
tensioning.
3.
Loosen bar mounting
nuts until
they are finger tight.
4. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
until the chain solidly contacts bot-
tom of guide bar rail. Then, turn ad-
justing screw an additional
1/4 turn.
This is correct chain tension setting.
Adjusting Screw - 1/4 Turn
NOTE: To tighten the chain, turn the
adjusting
screw clockwise;
to loosen
the chain, turn the adjusting
screw
counterclockwise.

€_'YHAIN SHARPNESS
A sharp chain makes wood chips. A
dull chain makes a sawdust powder
and cuts slowly.
See CHAIN
SHARPENING in the SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENTS section.
CHECK
GUIDE BAR
Conditions
which require guide bar
maintenance:
• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the
cut.
• Inadequate
supply of oil to the bar
and chain.
Check the condition of the guide bar
each time the chain is sharpened.
A
worn guide bar will damage the chain
and make cutting difficult.
After each use, with unit disconnected
from power source, clean all sawdust
from the guide bar and sprocket
hole.
To maintain
guide bar:
• Disconnect
the chain saw from the
power source.
• Loosen and remove bar mounting
nuts. Remove
bar, bar clamp plate
and chain from saw.
• Clean the oil holes and bar groove
after each 5 hours of operation.
