CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast-cutting chain will provide kickback
reduction when properly maintained.
A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortlessly, even with very little
pressure. Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain cutter leads to
increased physical strain, increased vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results, and
increased wear.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be maintained properly. 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 are the indicator that the chain requires
sharpening. During maintenance of your chain, consider the following:
◾
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of a severe kickback.
◾
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low increases the potential for kickback. Not
low enough decreases cutting ability.
◾
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and stones, or have been
abraded by mud or sand on the wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified
service technician.
NOTICE:
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 qualified service technician.
