FIGURE B 5. Replace the Chain Cover (46), and tighten the Nylon Insert Nut (67) so that the Cover is snug, but not tight. (See Figure D, next page.) 6. Pull gently up on the tip of the Guide Bar (52), while turning the Blade Adjustment Screw (61) clockwise (photo 005.) Because the saw is light in weight, this is easier if someone holds the handle. Do not overtighten the Chain. There should only be about 1/4” of space when the Chain is pulled upward at the center of the Guide Bar.
BLADE ADJUSTMENT SCREW (61) OIL FILL CAP (11) ON/OFF TRIGGER (25b) CHAIN (57) FIGURE D CHAIN COVER (46) NUT (67) GUIDE BAR (52) To Check For Proper Chain Tension: 1. The Chain (57) tension is proper when the Chain snaps back after being pulled 1/4” away from the Guide Bar (52) with light force. There should be no sagging between the Chain and Guide Bar underneath. When necessary, use a screwdriver to turn the Adjustment Screw (61) clockwise to tighten, or counterclockwise to loosen, the Chain (57).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Safety Brake: 1. The Safety Brake is activated when the back of the operator’s hand pushes against the back of the Protect Plate (17). When activated, the Chain Saw will stop automatically, and the On/Off Trigger (25b) should be manually released. Next, pull the Protect Plate (17) back to its initial position in order to restart the Chain Saw. NOTE: If the Protect Plate (17) is not pulled back to its initial position, the Chain Saw will not operate. (See Figure E.) 2.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. WARNING: Always turn the On/Off Trigger (25b) to its “OFF” position and unplug the Electric Cord (23) from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning. (See Figure E.) 2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Chain Saw. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts (i.e., Chain, 57), damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
