1.Before adjusting the saw chain, make sure the guide bar nuts (D) are only finger tight (See Figure 1 and 2).

2.Turn adjusting screw (A) clockwise until all slack is out of the saw chain.

3.Wear protective gloves and pull the saw chain (C) around the guide bar. It should move freely.

4.If necessary, readjust chain using adjusting screw (A). There should be no gap between the side links of the saw chain and the bottom of the guide bar (See Figure 3).

5.Tighten guide bar nuts (D) using a wrench. Nuts not tightened securely will allow guide bar movement resulting in loose chain and increasing the possibility of kickback and damage to mating parts.

6.A new chain will stretch and should be checked after the first few minutes of operation. Disconnect saw from power source. Adjust the chain tension after it has had a few minutes to cool down. Use protective gloves to protect hands from chain teeth.

(E) through the body of the saw and

 

through sprocket support (F). Tighten

 

the nut (D) only finger tight. This will

 

allow clearance for the installation of

 

the saw chain.

8.

Slide the saw chain between the side

 

cover and the sprocket (J), in the top

 

groove of the guide bar (G) and around

 

the guide bar nose.

9.

Insert remaining guide bar bolt (E) and

 

install nut (D) finger tight.

10.

Adjust the saw chain tension by

 

following the tension adjustment

 

instructions.

CAUTION: If saw chain is as- sembled backwards, the saw will vibrate excessively and will not cut.

SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: The saw chain ten- sion must be properly main- tained. Failure to do so will cause rapid saw chain, guide bar and sprocket wear. A loose chain will increase the possibility of kick- back and may jump out of the guide bar groove. This may cause damage to the chain and injury to the operator. Tighten guide bar nuts securely.
