NOTICE:
Small direction arrows are
engraved in the saw chain and the power
head housing (Fig. 29). When looping
the saw chain onto the guide bar, make
sure that, after mounting the guide bar
onto the power head, the direction of the
arrows on the saw chain will correspond
to the rotation direction arrow on the
power head housing. If they face in
opposite directions, reassemble the saw
chain onto the guide bar with the arrows facing the same direction. The guide bar
should be mounted with the adjustment plate facing away from the housing.
4. Replace the side cover onto the
power head by fully tightening the
quick chain-tension adjust knob
clockwise. The eccentric gear inside
the side cover is designed to ensure
that the chain will not be over-
tensioned (Fig. 30).
5. Adjust the chain-kickback brake
handle in the operating position,
and then rotate the chain by hand
to check whether the chain is properly assembled without binding. Otherwise,
reassemble the chain and bar.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
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.
