Chain Maintenance - EGO PSX2500 Manual Del Operador

◾
A cold chain is correctly tensioned
when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar and the
chain is snug, but it can be turned
by hand without binding. The chain
must be re-tensioned whenever the
flats on the drive links do not sit in
the bar groove as shown in Fig. 15.
◾
During normal operation, the
temperature of the chain will
increase. The drive links of a
correctly tensioned warm chain will
hang approximately 3/64 in. (1.3
mm) out of the bar groove (Fig. 16).
NOTICE:
New chains tend to stretch.
Check chain tension frequently and
tension as required.
NOTICE:
A chain tensioned while it is
warm may be too tight upon cooling.
Check the cold tension before next use.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
components are sharp and may contain burrs.
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.
Remove the battery pack before performing any maintenance.
Always wear gloves when handling the saw chain. These
