SAW CHAIN TENSION

WARNING: Remove battery from chainsawbeforeadjustingsawchain tension. Severe injury or death could occur from body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: Maintain proper chain tension always.Aloose chain will increase the risk of kickback.A loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure op- erator and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, guide bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.

Note: The saw chain tension is properly set at the factory. A new chain will stretch. Check new chain tension frequently (after discon- necting battery) during the first 2 hours of operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps below to check saw chain tension.

1.Remove battery from chain saw.

2.Place chain saw on a firm surface to check chain tension.

3.Pull chain with light force 1/8" away from bottom of guide bar and release (see Figure 8). If chain lightly snaps back into place, tension is correct. A slight sag (1/16" or less) between chain and bottom of guide bar is acceptable.
