MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based materials

ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION

The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the
slack.
Tension the chain so that it can only just be pulled away from
the bar at its centre point.
WARNING
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves if you touch the chain, bar or areas
around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the chain cover by turning the chain cover knob
(11) counterclockwise.
It is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust the
chain tension.

3. Turn the chain tension knob (13) clockwise to increase
the chain tension.
4. Turn the chain tension knob counterclockwise to decrease
the chain tension.

cover.

SHARPEN THE CUTTERS

Sharpen the cutters if it is not easy for the chain to go into the
wood.
We recommend that a service center, which has an electric
sharpener, perform important sharpening work.
1. Tensioning chain.
2. Sharpen the cutters corner with a 5/32 in. (4 mm)
diameter round file .
3. Sharpen the top plate, side plate and depth gauge with a
flat file.
