ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Maintain proper chain tension. A loose chain will increase the risk of kick back. A loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may in- jure operator and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, guide bar and sprocket to wear rapidly.

1.To adjust chain tension, make sure guide bar nuts are only finger tight. Also make sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole on guide bar.

2.Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is out of chain. Note: There should be no gap between side links of chain and bottom of guide bar.

3.Wearing protective gloves, move chain around guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain does not move freely, loosen chain by turning adjusting screw counterclockwise.

4.After chain tension is correct, tighten guide bar nuts firmly. If not, guide bar will move and loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk of kickback. This can also damage saw.
