Before performing service near moving parts such as
blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn the key switch to
the OFF (#0) position and remove the key. If the key is turned on and
moving parts activated, serious injury may result.
WARNING!
Disconnect and lockout power before performing any ser-
vice to the electrical system. For battery-powered equipment, discon-
nect the negative battery terminal cable. For AC-powered equipment,
follow the lockout procedure provided in the safety section (
). Failure to do so may result in injury and/or electrical system
damage.

Adjust the power feed chain as needed. Measure the power feed chain tension with the
saw head all the way toward the rear of the mill. Use the adjustment nut on the feed ten-
sioner at the front of the mill to tighten or loosen the power feed chain. Adjust the chain
until it measures 7 to 8 inches (17.8 to 20.3 cm) from the top of the top rail at its lowest
point.
CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the feed chain. Damage to the power
feed motor may result.
