They have the specs. on your saw,How to maintain , adjust and fine tune your saw. Keep your oil resevoir full and check it after 15 minutes of run time . (Lubrication is your friend )It not only keeps the saw running true with no hangups but also protects your chain bar from excessive wear. Never dip the tip of a running saw in dirt , gravel , concrete etc. 4.Keep your chain tension properly maintained . After you run the saw a few minutes , the chain heats up from friction which expands the chain a little and loosens the tension . I do a lot of carving so I just end up buying a new blade twice a year. To sharpen it and try to get it perfect is very time consuming if you dont know what your doing .Manufacturers can crank one out for and it will only cost you $15 to $20. Just remember a sharp blade is safer than a dull one and slow down and let the tool do the work .( Don't crowd the motor which means don't push too hard . It puts excess wear on the bearings inside . ) 6 . Enjoy Tiki-Ray
