MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
SERVICING THE CHAIN
The following procedures explain how to break a chain using Stanley’s bench mounted chain breaker (P/N 20858) to remove a worn or damaged segment.
1.Mount the chain breaker flush with the side or front of a flat, clean work surface (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Chain Breaker Mounting
NOTE:
The Stanley chain breaker is only designed to re- move rivet heads from the connecting links, not from a chain segment. The rivet heads shown in the shaded areas of Figure 11 are the only ones that can be removed.

2.Place the chain (the portion that you want broken) into the slot of the anvil pushing it forward until the bottom connecting link is flush with the far side of the slot (Figure 12).

3.Position the rivet head you want removed directly under the chain breaker punch and then pull the handle down far enough to remove the rivet (Figure 13). Do not use excessive force.
