MAINTENANCE

NOTE: During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain
increases. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm chain will
hang approximately 1/20’’ (1.27 mm) out of the bar groove.

NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain tension frequently
and tension as required.

CAUTION: A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon
cooling. Check the “cold tension” before next use.
