56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW40
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Remove the battery pack before performing any maintenance;
failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear gloves when handling the saw chain; these
components are sharp and may contain burrs.
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.
For smooth and fast cutting, the chain needs to be maintained properly. The chain
requires sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must
be forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During
maintenance of your chain, consider the following:
Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of a severe kickback.
Raker (depth gauge) clearance. Too low increases the potential for kickback. Not
low enough decreases cutting ability.
If cutter teeth have hit hard objects, such as nails and stones, or have been
abraded by mud or sand on the wood, have the chain sharpened by a qualified
service technician.
NOTICE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the chain.
If signs of wear or damage are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket
replaced by qualified service technician.
