•
Examine the chain tension frequently after you
assemble a new saw chain and until the saw
chain has been run-in.
•
Examine the chain tension regularly. Correct
chain tension results in good cutting performance
and a long life.
To reset the chain brake
If the clutch cover is removed accidentally while the
chain brake is locked, the chain brake must be unlocked
so the clutch cover can be assembled without binding to
the clutch drum.
CAUTION: The chain brake spring is under
tension. Use care when resetting the chain
brake.
Note: Do not hold the brake band while attempting to
reset it.
1. Align the notches on the bar tool so that they fit over
the brake rotating link. (Fig. 46)
2. To reset the brake, rotate the link clockwise until it
stops. The front link will be in its downward rotated
position when the chain brake is unlocked. (Fig. 47)
