CHAIN MAINTENANCE
See Figures 46 - 47.
CAUTION:
Check that the switch is in the STOP “
”
position before you work on the saw to avoid
accidental starting that may result in possible
injury.
Use only a low-kickback chain on this saw. This
chain provides kickback reduction when properly
maintained.
For smooth and fast cutting, maintain the chain
properly.
The chain requires sharpening when the wood
chips are small and powdery, the chain must be
forced through the wood during cutting, or the
chain cuts to one side. During maintenance of the
chain, consider the following:
Improper filing angle of the side plate can
increase the risk of severe kickback.
Depth gauge clearance.
• Too low increases the potential for kickback.
• Not low enough decreases cutting ability.
If the cutter teeth hit hard objects such as nails
and stones, or are abraded by mud or sand
on the wood, have a qualified service center
sharpen the chain.
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear
or damage when replacing the chain. If signs
of wear or damage are present in the areas
indicated, have the drive sprocket replaced by
a qualified service center.
NOTE: If you do not fully understand the correct
procedure for sharpening the chain after reading
the instructions that follow, have the saw chain
sharpened by a qualified service center or replace
with a recommended low-kickback chain.
