„ Place the bar onto the bar stud so that the chain
tensioning pin fits into the chain tensioning pin hole.
„ Fit the chain over the sprocket and into the bar
groove. The cutters on the top of the bar should face
toward the bar tip, in the direction of the chain rotation.
„ Replace the drivecase cover and install the lock knob.
Tighten the lock knob finger tight only. The bar must
be free to move for tension adjustment.
„ Remove all slack from chain by turning the chain
tensioning screw clockwise, assuring that the chain
seats into the bar groove during tensioning.
„ Lift the tip of the bar up to check for sag. Release the
tip of the bar, and turn the chain tensioning screw 1/2
turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does not
exist.
„ Hold the lip of the bar up and tighten the lock knob
securely.
„ Chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on
the underside of the bar, the chain is snug, but it can
be turned by hand without binding.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
See Figure 13-16
„ Loosen the chain cover lock nuts with the supplied
wrench. The chain cover lock nuts do not have to
be completely removed in order to adjust the chain
tension.
„ Rotate the chain adjustment screw clockwise
to increase the chain tension and rotate
counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension.
„ Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten the
chain cover lock nuts.
Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar and
chain.
When the saw chain is new, check the tension
frequently during the first two hours of use as a new
saw chain stretches slightly.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE See Figure 17
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be
maintained properly. The following conditions indicate
that the chain requires sharpening:
„ Wood chips are small and powdery.
„ Chain must be forced through the wood during cutting.
English (original instructions)
WARNING
WARNING
„ Chain cuts to one side.
During maintenance of the chain, consider the following:
„ Improper filling angle of the side plate can increase
the risk of severe kickback.
„ Depth gauge (or raker clearance) setting determines
the height the cutter enters the wood and the size of
the wood chip that is removed. Too much clearance
increases the potential for kickback. Too little
clearance decreases the size of the wood chip thus
decreasing the chain's 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.
NOTE:if there're any cracks on chain pitch or guide
bar,stop to use the tool at once and replace the damaged
parts. Refer to Replacing The Bar And Chain.
HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS
See Figure 18-21
Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles and to
the same length, as fast cutting can be obtained only when
all cutters are uniform.
„ Tighten the chain tension enough that the chain does
not wobble. Do all of your filling at the mid-point of the
bar. Wear gloves for protection.
„ Use a 5/32 in. diameter round file and holder.
„ Keep the file level with the top plate of the tooth. Do
not let the file dip or rock.
„ Using light but firm pressure, stroke towards the front
corner of the tooth. Lift file away from the steel on
each return stroke.
„ Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left hand
cutters in one direction. Then move to the other side
and file the right hand cutters in the opposite direction.
Occasionally remove filings from the file with a wire
brush.
Dull or improperly sharpened chain can cause
excessive motor speed during cutting which may result
in severe motor damage.
Improper chain sharpening increases the potential of
kickback. Failure to replace or repair damaged chain
can cause serious injury.
