CHAIN SHARPENING
Chain sharpening requires special tools. You can purchase sharpening tools at an authorized service dealer or go to a pro- fessional chain sharpener.
WARNING: Avoid accidental start- ing. Always unplug saw from power source before installing a bar and/or chain.
CHAIN REPLACEMENT
WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.
It is normal for a new chain to stretch dur- ing the first 30 minutes of operation. You should recheck your chain tension fre- quently and adjust the chain tension as required. See CHECK CHAIN TENSION section.
Replace the old chain when it becomes worn or damaged. Use only the Low Kickback replacement chain specified in the list of available replacement parts. The chain must comply with kickback re- quirements of ANSI B175.1 when tested with this saw. See your authorized ser- vice dealer to replace and sharpen indi- vidual cutters on your chain.
TO REPLACE CHAIN:
D Disconnect the chain saw from the power source.
S Turn the adjusting screw counter- clockwise to move the adjusting pin al- most as far as it will go to the rear. Do not remove the adjusting screw from the unit.
S Hold chain with cutters facing as shown.
