56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS 20" CHAIN SAW — CS2000/CS2000-FC42
CAUTION:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned before using.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. Stop the motor and remove the
battery pack before adjusting the
chain tension.
2. Turn the chain-tensioning bolt
clockwise or counterclockwise to
adjust chain tension according to
the marks on the side cover around
the chain-tensioning bolt (Fig. 31a)
until the chain seats snugly against
the guide bar with the drive links in
the guide bar groove.
◾
A cold chain is correctly tensioned
when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar and the
chain is snug, but it can be turned
by hand without binding. The chain
must be re-tensioned whenever the
flats on the drive links do not sit in
the bar groove.
◾
During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain will increase. The
drive links of a correctly tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 0.050 in.
(1.3 mm) out of the bar groove (Fig. 31b).
NOTICE: New chains tend to stretch. Check chain tension frequently and adjust
tension as required.
NOTICE: A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too tight upon cooling. Check the
cold tension before next use
