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 breakin 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 minimise 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 discolouration.
