CHAIN TENSION (including units with chain already installed)

NOTE: When adjusting chain tension, make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only. Attempting to tension the chain when the bar nuts are tight will cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the combina- tion screwdriver/wrench tool to move the chain around the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chain stretches during use. This is especially true during the first few times you use your saw. Always check chain tension each time you use your saw.

You can adjust chain tension by loosen- ing the bar clamp nuts and turning ad- justing screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on the bar.

Adjusting Screw -- 1/4 Turn

SRelease the chain brake. Pull firmly until

the handguard is pulled fully back to- wards the front handle, then release the lever.

SIf chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.

SIf chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw

1/4 turn clockwise.

SLift up the tip of the bar and tighten the

bar clamp nuts with the assembly tool.

SRecheck chain tension. Tension is cor- rect when chain does not sag below the bar but still can be moved around the bar.
