CHAIN ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
THE CHAIN IS SHARP.
When handling, always
wear heavy gloves or use
a rag.
1. Assemble the chain into guide bar slot
and over the sprocket.
NOTE the direction of the cutters, that is,
facing away from the tool as shown in
fig. 8.
CHAIN TENSIONING
(See figs. 9 & 10)
1. Make sure that the chain is fully
engaged with the sprocket.
. Using ‘a screwdriver turn the chain
tensioning screw clockwise to increase
the tension on the chain.
. Securely tighten the guide bar adjust-
ment screw with wrench.
. See OVER AND UNDER TENSION-
OVER AND UNDER TENSIONING
(See fig. 11)
Over tensioning of the chain (too tight) will
cause the guide bar and chain to overheat,
wear rapidly and may cause motor
burnout.
If the chain is too loose, cutting per-
formance is poor and there is usually early
breakage of the chain. This is due to the
pounding at the sprocket and from the
chain jumping out of the guide bar groove
while cutting. :
The correct tension can be determined by
lifting up the chain at approximately the
center of the guide bar. If the chain lifts up
less than a 1/16 of an inch it is too tight. If
more than 1/8 of an inch it is too loose.
After you have achieved the proper saw
chain tension & securely tightened the
guide bar adjustment screw, replace the
sprocket cover with screws.
Anew chain will “stretch”
and therefore it will be
necessary to retention the
chain, perhaps several —
times, during its initial
use.
