56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1800/CS1800-FC 39

NOTICE: Small direction arrows are

engraved in the saw chain and the power

head housing (Fig. 29). When looping

the saw chain onto the guide bar, make

sure that, after mounting the guide bar

onto the power head, the direction of the

arrows on the saw chain will correspond

to the rotation direction arrow on the

power head housing. If they face in

opposite directions, reassemble the saw

chain onto the guide bar with the arrows facing the same direction. The guide bar

should be mounted with the adjustment plate facing away from the housing.

4. Replace the side cover onto the

power head by fully tightening the

quick chain-tension adjust knob

clockwise. The eccentric gear inside

the side cover is designed to ensure

that the chain will not be over-

tensioned (Fig. 30).

5. Adjust the chain-kickback brake

handle in the operating position,

and then rotate the chain by hand

to check whether the chain is properly assembled without binding. Otherwise,

reassemble the chain and bar.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

Use only low-kickback chains on this saw. This fast cutting chain will provide kickback

reduction when properly maintained.

A properly sharpened saw chain cuts through wood effortlessly, even with very little

pressure. Never use a dull or damaged saw chain. A dull saw chain cutter leads to

increased physical strain, increased vibration load, unsatisfactory cutting results, and

increased wear.
