CHAIN TENSION (Including units with chain already installed)

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

NOTE: When adjusting chain tension, make sure the bar knob is finger tight only. Attempting to tension the chain when the bar knob is tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use a screwdriver to move chain around guide bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too tight. If the chain is too loose, it will sag below the bar.
