chain tension
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as
necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to
be pulled around by hand. (See Section Saw Chain Tension
Adjustment).
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as few as 5
cuts. This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval
between future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly. Over a
period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will
become worn, resulting in what is called chain strength. This is
normal. When it is no longer possible to obtain correct chain
tension adjustment, a link will have to be removed to shorten the
chain. See your authorized service center to have this repair
performed.
Warning! Never have more than 3 links removed from
a loop of chain this could cause damage to the
sprocket.
chain lubrication
Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly.
Keep the oil tank filled with special chainsaw oil. Adequate
lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting operations is
essential to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the
bar and chain of lubricating oil. Running the saw dry or with too
little oil will decrease rapid cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain
life, cause rapid dulling of the chain, and lead to excessive wear
of the bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke
or bar discoloration.
preventative maintenance servicing a double
insulated appliance

of grounding, are provided. No grounding means is provided on a
double insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. No serviceable parts are inside. A double
