CHAIN MAINTENANCE

Use only a low-kickback chain on this saw. This fast-cutting chain provides kickback

reduction when properly maintained. For smooth and fast cutting, maintain the chain

properly. The chain requires sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the

chain must be forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During

maintenance of the chain, consider the following:

• Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase the risk of severe kickback

• Raker (depth gauge) clearance.

• Too low increases the potential for kickback.

• Not low enough decreases cutting ability.

• If the cutter teeth hit hard objects such as nails or stones, or are abraded by mud or

sand on the wood, have an authorized service centre sharpen the chain.

• Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the

have the drive sprocket replaced by an authorized service centre.

• If you do not fully understand the correct procedure for sharpening

the chain after reading the instructions that follow, have the saw

chain sharpened by an authorized service centre or replace with a

recommended low-kickback chain.
