Husqvarna 2083 II 3 Tensioning the chain

English – 13

!

C General advice on setting raker clearance

• When you sharpen the

cutting teeth you reduce the

RAKER CLEARANCE

(cutting depth). To maintain

cutting performance you

must file back the raker

teeth to the recommended

height.

See the

”Technical data”

section to find the raker

clearance for your saw

chain.

• On a low-kickback cutting

link the front edge of the

raker lip is rounded. It is

very important that you

maintain this radius or bevel

when you adjust the raker

clearance.

• We recommend the use of a

raker gauge to achieve the

correct clearance and bevel

on the raker lip.

The risk of kickback is increased if the raker

clearance is too large!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

D Setting the raker clearance

• Before setting the raker clearance the cutting teeth should be

newly sharpened.

We recommend that you adjust the raker clearance every

third time you sharpen the chain. NOTE! This

recommendation assumes that the length of the cutting teeth

is not reduced excessively.

• To adjust the raker

clearance you will need a

FLAT FILE and a RAKER

GAUGE.

• Place the gauge over the

raker lip.

• Place the file over the part

of the lip that protrudes

through the gauge and file

off the excess. The

clearance is correct when

you no longer feel any

resistance as you draw the

file over the gauge.

3 Tensioning the chain

!

• The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is

therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the

slack.

• Check the chain tension every time you refuel.

NOTE! A new saw chain has a running-in period during which

you should check the tension more frequently.

• Tension the chain as tightly

as possible, but not so tight

that you cannot pull it round

freely by hand.

A slack chain may jump off and cause serious

or even fatal injury.
