9.Tighten the mounting nut with the combination tool while hold- ing the tip of the guide bar up.

The tension of a new chain must be checked frequently until it is broken in. Continue to check the tension at regular intervals to ensure good performance and a long service life.

Wear causes a chain to become looser with use. Regular tensioning is important to compensate for this wear.

Check the chain tension at least every time you refill the chain oil reservoir.
