CHAIN REPLACEMENT

gloves when handling chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you even

frequently and adjust the chain tension
as required. See CHECK CHAIN TEN-

comes worn or damaged. Use only

specified in the list of available re-
placement parts. The chain must com-
ply with kickback performance require-
ments of ANSI B175.1 when tested
with this saw.
See your Sears Service Center to re-
place and sharpen individual cutters
on your chain.
