Retensioning during cutting work:

NSwitch off the engine. N Loosen the nut.

N Hold the bar nose up.

NUse a screwdriver to turn the tensioning screw (1) clockwise until the chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar.

NWhile still holding the bar nose up, tighten down the nut firmly.

NGo to "Checking Chain Tension".
