After sharpening, the cutting links must all have the same width
and length.
Warning:
A sharp chain produces well-defined chips. When your
chain starts to produce sawdust, it is time to sharpen.
After the blades have been sharpened 3-4 times, check the
height of the depth limiter and if necessary lower it with a flat
file and then round off the front corner (Fig. 40).
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.
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain and bar will need chain 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.
Warning:
Never have more than 3 links removed from a loop of
chain. This could cause damage to the sprocket. If in doubt
please call the customer helpline.
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
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 cutting 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.
