Saw chain
Saw chain Tension
Periodically check the chain tension and adjust if
necessary, so that after use the chain is snug against
the rail, but still loose enough that it can be pulled by
hand. (Fig.8)
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain and bar will need chain readjustment af-
ter as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the breakin
period, and the interval between future adjustments
will begin to lengthen quickly.
Chain lubrication
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is
working properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain,
Bar and Sprocket Oil.
Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cut-
ting operations is essential to minimize friction with
the guide bar.

Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil. Run-
ning the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease cut-
ting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid
dulling of chain, and lead to excessive wear of bar
from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke
or bar discoloration.
Chain Sharpening
m NOTE!: For smooth and safe operation, it is im-
portant that the chain is always sharp. The chain
should be sharpened when:
• Wood shavings are dust-like.
• You have to expend extra power sawing.
• The saw cut is not straight.
• The vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
m NOTE
We recommend that a professional sharpen the
chain.
