NOTE:
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.
Chain tension
Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as necessary to keep the chain snug
on the bar, if the chain is pulled down with the fingers at the centre of the bar the gap be-
tween the chain and the bar should be 6 to 8mm.
(See Page 7 - Fig 7 )
Breaking in a new saw chain
A new chain will need to be readjusted after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-
in period, future adjustments will be required less often.
Oil passages
Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain
during operation.
NOTE:
The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If the passages are clear, the
chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of
starting the saw. Your saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system.
