CHAIN TENSION (Including units with chain already installed)

NOTE: When adjusting chain tension, make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only. Attemptingto tensionthe chain when the bar nuts are tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the combination screwdriver/wrench tool to move the chain around the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it

is too tight. Iftoo loose, the chain will sag be- low the bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chain stretches during use. This is especially true during the first few times you use your saw. Always check chain tension each time you use and refuel your saw.

You can adjust the chain tension by loosening the bar clamp nuts and turning the adjusting screw 1/4 of a tum while IAing up on the bar.

•If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
