It is normal for a new chain to stretch dur- ing the first 15 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.
