Installing and removing the saw chain (fig. G & H)
Warning! Always wear protective gloves when installing or
removing the saw chain. The saw chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is not running
Place the tool on a firm and stable surface.
u
Loosen the screws (16) using the Allen key provided.
u
Remove the screws.
Remove the sprocket cover (5) and the bar clamp (17).
u
Turn the screw (18) counterclockwise to allow the guide
u
bar (6) to recede and to reduce the tension on the saw
chain (7).
Remove the old saw chain from the sprocket (19) and the
guide bar (6).
Place the new saw chain in the groove of the guide bar
u
and around the sprocket. Make sure that the teeth are
facing the correct direction by matching the arrow on the
saw chain with the arrow on the housing.
Make sure that the slot (20) in the guide bar is over the
u
location pins (21) and that the hole (22) below the slot is
located over the adjustment pin (23).
Re-fit the sprocket cover (5) and the bar clamp (17) and
u
the screws (16).
Tighten the screws (16) using the Allen key provided.
u
Adjust the chain tension as described below.

To ensure continued safe operation, the chain and guide bar
must only be replaced with original Black & Decker parts.
Replacement chain part number A6158 replacement guide bar
part number 623381-00.
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. G)
Check the saw chain tension. The tension is correct
u
when the saw chain (7) snaps back after being pulled
away 3 mm from the saw chain bar with light force from
the middle finger and thumb. There should be no 'sag'
between the guide bar (6) and the saw chain (7) on the
underside.
To adjust the tension:
Loosen the screws (16).
u
Turn the screw (18) clockwise.
u
Warning! Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar and chain.
Once the chain tension is correct, tighten the screws (16).
u
Warning! When the saw chain is new, check the tension
frequently during the first two hours of use as a new saw chain
stretches slightly.
Oiling the chain
The saw chain must be oiled before each use and after
cleaning using only the correct grade of oil (cat. no. A6027).
Oil the whole saw chain (7) evenly using the
u
applicator (9).
