WARNING!
To prevent serious injury, do not use a saw that is
damaged or in poor condition.
WARNING!
Failure to test and maintain the chain brake
according to the Operator's Manual may result in the
chain brake failing to operate in the event of
kickback.
Safety Check - Before Each Use
Adjust Saw Chain Tension
! CAUTION!
Always shut off the engine before adjusting the chain
tension.
Never do any maintenance on the saw chain with the
engine running.
Wear gloves to avoid getting cut.
A loose saw chain can jump off the guide bar and cause
serious injury or death. A loose chain is also the main
reason for excessive wear and damage to the bar and
chain. Bar and chain installation is explained in the
Maintenance Section of your Operator's Manual.
A properly adjusted chain is tight, but you should always
be able to turn the chain freely with a gloved hand. Allow
the bar to cool before adjustment. Check after tensioning
by pulling the chain in the normal direction of rotation.
Lubricate Saw Chain
Fill chain oil tank with oil each time you refuel. Operating
saw chain while oil tank is empty will cause damage to
guide bar and saw chain. Use oil that is designed for
saw chains. Check your Operator's Manual for more
information.
