Often time’s people will ask, “Is there anything special I should do with a new chain?” The answer is "YES". There are a few things you could do to make the life of your chain longer.
- The first thing you should do with a new chain is soak it in oil for a few minutes to allow the oil to penetrate all the components of the chain.
- Never run any chain on an over worn drive sprocket, we recommend replacing your drive sprocket after every two chains.
- Once your have installed your new chain onto your chainsaw you will need to adjust your chain. This is very important. If you don’t have your chain adjusted correctly it could cause serious damage to you and your chainsaw.
- Run your chain at half throttle for several minutes before doing any cutting. This is to allow the oil to reach the entire bar and chain. Let the sprocket, bar and chain parts warm-up fully.
- Stop the motor and let it cool and then double check the tension of your chain.
- Keep the first several cuts light. Also keep extra oil on the bar and chain during all cuts, do not apply heavy pressure.
- Check chain tension often during the first hour of use.
