GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.

•Loosen the bar nut that holds the drive sprocket cover. Use the kombination spanner.

•Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening the chain tensioning screw using the combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the underside of the bar.

•Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nut while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can pull the saw chain round freely by hand, and that there is no slack on the underside of the bar.

The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws varies from model to model. See the What is what? section to ﬁnd out where it is on your model.
