Replacing the Saw Chain (Fig.D, H)

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is notrunning.

CAUTION: The chain speed of this product is 4.5 m/s.
Only use chains that are rated at greater than 4.5 m/s.
1. Place the saw on a flat, firmsurface.
2. Remove sprocket cover
6
as described in Installing the
Guide Bar and Saw Chainsection.
3. To remove the saw chain
5
, rotate the chain tension
screw
9
in the front of the housing using the flat
screwdriver end of the wrench. Turning the screw
counterclockwise allows the guide bar
4
to recede
and reduces the tension on the chain so that it may
beremoved.
4. Wearing protective gloves, grasp the saw chain and lift
the worn saw chain out of the groove in the guidebar.
5. Flip guide bar over every time you replace the chain to
ensure evenwear.
6. Place the new chain in the slot of the guide bar, making
sure the saw teeth are facing the correct direction by
matching the arrow and graphic of the saw chain on the
sprocket cover
6
shown in Fig.H.
7. Follow instructions for Installing the Guide Bar and
SawChain.
1. With the saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain
5
tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
4
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in Fig.F. There should be no
“sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on the
underside as shown in Fig.G.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar lock nut
8
.
3. Rotate the chain tension screw
9
in the front of the
housing using the flat screwdriver end of thewrench.
4. Check saw chain tension, adjust ifneeded.
5. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain. Overtensioning also reduces the amount
of cuts you will get per batterycharge.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock nut
8
untilsnug .
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours of
use. It is important to check the tension frequently (after
disconnecting battery) during the first 2 hours ofuse.
Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. D, F, G)
NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly before
eachuse.
