CHAIN SHARPENING
Chain sharpening requires special
tools. You can purchase sharpening
tools at Sears or go to a professional
chain sharpener.
II_WARNING: Avoid accidental
starting. Always unplug saw from pow-
er source before installing a bar and/or
chain.
CHAIN REPLACEMENT
II_WARNING: Wear protective
gloves when handling chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you even
when it is not moving.
It is normal for a new chain to stretch
during the first 30 minutes of operation.
You should recheck your chain tension
frequently and adjust the chain tension
as required. See CHECK CHAIN TEN-
SION section.
Replace the old chain when it be-
comes worn or damaged. Use only
the Low Kickback replacement chain
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.
