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 thecombina-

tion screwdriver/wrench tool to move

the chain around the bar. If the chain

does notrotate, 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

Release the chain brake. Pull firmly until

the handguard is pulled fully back to-

wards the front handle, then release the

lever.

If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw

1/4 turn counterclockwise.

If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw

1/4 turn clockwise.

Lift up the tip of the bar and tighten the

bar clamp nuts with the assembly tool.

Recheck chain tension. Tension is cor-

rect when chain does not sag below the

bar but still can be moved around the

bar .
