CARE OF
rlUTCH AND SPROCKET ASSEMBLY
Examine the sprocket periodically. Worn sprockets damage
chain and greatly reduce cutting efficiency. Always install a
new sprocket and bearing with a new chain. Clean bearing and
shaft thoroughly with a clean oil soaked cloth and repack the
bearing with Skil No. 252 lubricant or a good grade of water-
proof grease. Replace the bearing if any damage is apparent.
REMOVING THE SPROCKET: Remove the nut, screw, washer
and clutch cover. Loosen adjusting screw and remove bar and
chain. Insert a screwdriver in one of the slots in the clutch and
gently tap the screwdriver in a clockwise rotation to loosen the
clutch. Remove the clutch, sprocket and bearing.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THE CHAIN SAW WITHOUT
THE CLUTCH AND DRUM ASSEMBLY IN PLACE. CENTRI-
FUGAL FORCE WILL CAUSE THE CLUTCH SHOES TO FLY
OUT UNLESS RETAINED BY THE CLUTCH DRUM.
