CHAIN MAINTENANCE

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:
• Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of severe kickback
• 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 or stones, or are abraded by mud or
sand on the wood, have an authorized service center sharpen the chain.
Raker (Depth Gauge) Clearance
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 center.
• 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 center or
replace with a recommended low-kickback chain.
