  • Page 21 695XL OPERATOR MANUAL Unpacking & Assembly CHECKING & ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION All chains have a tendency to stretch when used. ICS chains stretch more than wood cutting chains because of the abrasive materials they are cutting. WARNING Improper chain tension can lead to failure of the chain or derailing of the chain off of the guidebar.
  • Page 22 Following are the basic instructions to assure correct water supply to the saw. WARNING ICS diamond saws require a continuous water supply to the guidebar and chain. A key purpose of the supply water is dust suppression. The potential for airborne particulates depends on many factors including, but not limited to, the material being cut, application and cutting environment.
