MAINTENANCE
C A U T I O N
Make sure the chainsaw is disconnected from the power supply before you work on the saw.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE (See Fig. 44)
Use only a low-kickback chain on this saw. This fast-cutting chain provides kickback reduction when
properly maintained. For smooth and fast cutting, maintain the chain properly.The chain requires
sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the
wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During maintenance of the chain, consider the
following:
Raker (depth gauge) clearance.
Too low increases the potential for kickback.
Not low enough decreases cutting ability.
If the cutter teeth hit hard objects such as nails and stones, or are abraded by mud or
sand on the wood, have an authorized service centre sharpen the chain.
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or damage
are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket replaced by an authorized service centre.
NOTE: If you do not fully understand the correct procedure for sharpening the chain after reading the
instructions that follow, have the saw chain sharpened by an authorized service centre or replace with a
recommended low-kickback chain.
