MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance will extend the life of the machine. Prolonged or constant use may require more intensive
maintenance for the machine to continue to function properly.
ATTENTION:
Make sure the engine is completely shut down before performing any maintenance
or repair. This will eliminate any potential risk.

REPLACEMENT OF SWORD AND SAW CHAIN
ATTENTION:
The saw chain is very sharp, always wear protective gloves when performing any
maintenance on the chain. A dull or worn chain can cause excessive engine speed during cutting,
which can cause severe engine damage. Incorrect chain sharpening increases the potential for
kickback. Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can cause serious injury.
1. Unscrew the chain tensioner knob by turning it counterclockwise until the sprocket cover loosens.
2. Remove the sprocket cover. Remove the sword and saw chain from the unit.
3. To replace the sword with a new one, unscrew the nut on the chain tension assembly. Mount the chain
tension assembly to the new sword and tighten the nut.
4. Place the new chain in the correct direction on the sword and make sure that the drive links of the unit are
aligned in the groove of the sword.
5. Attach the sword to the chain saw and wrap the chain around the drive sprocket.
6. Replace the sprocket cover.
7. Adjust the chain tension. See section “Adjusting the chain tension”.
