and chain access cover retention bolts before use and adjust
if required.
Checking and adjusting the saw chain tension (fig. C)
To tension the saw chain (14) slacken the two chain cover
retention bolts (12) with the spanner (13) and the chain
tensioning device will push the chain guide bar (3) out,
setting the correct tension. Retighten the two retention bolts
(12) securely.
Check the correct tension has been set by lightly pulling on
the saw chain (14). The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 3 mm away from the
guide bar. There should be no "sag" be
tween the chain guide
bar (3) and the saw chain (14) on the underside.
Note: Do not over tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and reduce the life of the bar and saw chain.
It will also lead to reduced product performance.
Note: With first use and when the saw chain is new, check
tension frequently as a new saw chain stretches slightly.
Replacing the saw chain and chain guide bar
After prolonged use the saw chain (14) and /or chain guide
bar (3) may need replacing. Ensure only Black & Decker
recommended replacements are used.
Removing the saw chain and chai
n guide bar (fig. C & D)
Warning! The chain guide bar and the saw chain may be hot
after use. Allow to cool before replacing.

Place the tool on a firm surface.
 Rotate the two retention bolts (12) counter clockwise
with the spanner (13) provided and remove completely.

Remove the chain access cover (11).
 Slide the latch (5) to the unlock position, open the
handles and pull back the top jaw (1).
 Pull back chain guide bar (3) and then lift the saw chain
(14) out of the groove in the guide bar. The saw chain
can the
n be removed from the unit.

The chain guide bar (3) can then be angled up and
removed.
Assembling the chain guide bar and saw chain
(fig. E & F)
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.
 Ensure the operation is carried out on a firm surface.

Slide the latch (5) to the unlock position, open the
handles and pull back the top jaw (1).

Insert the chain guide bar (3) into the space between the
chain tensioner and align with the chain guide bar
locator, angle the chain gu
ide bar (3) down ensuring it is
correctly located.
 Place the saw chain (14) around the front of the chain
guide bar (3).

Pull the chain guide bar (3) and the saw chain (14)
back, engaging it in the groove in the chain guide bar (3)
and then over the sprocket (16) positioning teeth in the
correct position on the sprocket.
 Replace the chain access cover (11) and the two
retention bolts (12) tightening securely.
 Ensure the saw chain (14) is fitted correctly with
reference to the markings on the tool.
Oiling (fig. G)
 Before first use and every ten minutes of use you must
oil the product with the correct chain oil. (Cat No A6027)
Open the oiling cover (4) and insert the bottle into the oil
filling hole (15), apply pressure to the bottle once to
dispense oil.

This should be adequate for about 10 minutes of cutting
depending upon cutting speed and type of wood.
The hole feeds the oil through to the saw chain on to the chain
guide bar (3) and an excessive amount of oil applied to the unit
could mean the oil drips from the unit around the jaw area. This
is normal and is nothing to be concerned about.
