ELECTRIC CHAIN SAW

®

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cord with this chain

saw. Use a HO7RN extension cord no less

than 1.5 mm

2

at distances up to 30 meters.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter as part

of the power supply system.

Use an extension cord heavy enough to

carry the current your saw will draw. An

undersized cord will cause a voltage drop at

the saw, loss of power, and overheating.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make

sure cord does not catch on branches or logs

during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace

damaged cords.

The extension cord may come undone from

the power cord during use. To avoid this,

make a knot with the two cords as shown in

Figure 7 below.

TENSION

ADJUSTMENT

Note:

For pre-assembled models, the saw

chain tension is properly set at factory. A

new chain will stretch. Check new chain

after first few minutes of operation. Allow

chain to cool down. Follow steps below to

readjust saw chain tension.

1. Before adjusting chain, make sure guide

bar nuts are only ﬁnger tight (see Figure

3, page 7). Also make sure adjusting

block is in oval adjusting hole on guide

bar (see Figures 3 and 4, page 7).

2. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all

slack is out of chain (see Figure 5).

Note:

There should be no gap between

side links of chain and bottom of guide

bar (see Figure 6).

3. Wearing protective gloves, move chain

around guide bar. Chain should move

freely. If chain does not move freely,

loosen chain by turning adjusting screw

counterclockwise.

4. After chain tension is correct, tighten

guide bar nuts ﬁrmly. If not, guide bar

will move and loosen chain tension.

This will increase the risk of kickback.

This can also damage saw.

Note:

A new

chain will stretch. Check new chain

after ﬁrst few minutes of operation.

Allow chain to cool down. Readjust

chain tension.

WARNING: Unplug chain saw

from power source before adjust-

ing saw chain tension.

WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: Maintain proper

chain tension always. A loose

chain will increase the risk of

kickback. A loose chain may jump

out of guide bar groove. This may

injure operator and damage

chain. A loose chain will cause

chain, guide bar, and sprocket to

wear rapidly.
