WARNING: Failure to push lever on bar knob down to closed/locked position could result in serious personal injury or damage to your chain saw.

7.If chain does not rotate, it is too tight. Loosen bar knob 1 turn (counterclock- wise); then, loosen chain by turning the adjusting wheel 1/4 turn (upward direc- tion). Retighten bar knob.

8.If chain is too loose, it will sag below the guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if the chain is loose.

NOTE: The chain is tensioned correctly when the weight of the chain does not cause it to sag below the guide bar (with the chain saw sitting in an upright position), but the chain still moves freely around the guide bar.

WARNING: If the saw is operated with a loose chain, the chain could jump off the guide bar and result in serious injury to the op- erator and/or damage the chain making it un- usable. If the chain jumps off the guide bar, in- spect each drive link for damage. Damaged chain must be repaired or replaced.
