(See Section 3-5, Saw Chain Tension Adjustment). BREAKING IN A NEW SAW CHAIN A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval between future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly. Over a period of time, however, the moving parts of the saw chain will become worn, resulting in what is called CHAIN STRETCH. This is normal. When it is no longer possible to obtain correct chain tension adjustment, a link will have to

AVERTISSEMENT / ATTENTION Ne jamais enlever plus de trois maillons d’une chaine. Cela pourrait endommager la roulette. TENSION DE LA SIERRA: Revise la tension frecuentemente y ajustela tan pronto como se necesite para mantener la cadena ajustada a la barra, pero lo suficientemente suelta para ser jalada con la mano. (Vea la seccion 3-5, Ajuste de la Tension de la Cadena de la Sierra.) ACONDICIONAMIENTO EN UNA CADENA PARA SIERRA NUEVA: Una barra y cadena nueva requeriran un reajuste despues de ta

Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below will result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after each saw use. Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tip before lubrication. The Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for applying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. The Lube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is necessary for the efficient application of grease to the sprocket tip.

Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw. • Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed. • Use only the correct original equipment manufacturer replacement bars, chains and other parts and accessories.
