ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION
The more you use a chain the longer it be-
comes. It is therefore important to adjust the
chain regularly to take up the slack.
Tension the chain so that it can only just be
pulled away from the bar at its centre point.
WARNING
A slack chain may
jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury
CAUTION
Wear protective
gloves if you touch the chain, bar or areas
around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the lock nuts with the wrench.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the
chain cover to adjust the chain tension.
3. Turn the chain adjustment screw clockwise
to increase the chain tension.
4. Turn the chain adjustment screw
counterclockwise to decrease the chain
tension.
5. When the chain is at the wanted tension,
tighten the lock nuts.
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.
SHARPEN THE CUTTERS
Sharpen the cutters if it is not easy for the
chain to go into the wood.
NOTE: We recommend that a service center,
which has an electric sharpener, perform
important sharpening work.
1. Tensioning chain.
2. Sharpen the cutters corner with a 5/32 in. (4
mm) diameter round le.
3. Sharpen the top plate, side plate and
depth gauge with a at le.
