6.While lifting tip of guide bar, tighten bar clamp nut securely with the bar tool.

7.Use the screwdriver end of the bar tool to move chain around guide bar.

8.If chain does not rotate, it is too tight. Slightly loosen bar clamp nut and loosen chain by turning the adjusting screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Retighten bar clamp nut.

9.If chain is too loose, it will sag below the guide bar and needs to be tightened fol- lowing above procedure.

WARNING: DO NOT operate the pruner if the chain is loose. If the pruner is oper- ated with a loose chain, the chain could jump off the guide bar and result in serious injury.
