extremely important and must be

checked before starting, as well as

during, any cutting operation.Taking the

time to make needed adjustments to

the saw chain wii! resuit in improved

cutting performance and prolonged

chain iife.

NOTE; A new chain and bar wilt need

readjustment after as few as 5 cuts.This

is normal during the break-in period,

and the interval between future

adjustments wilS lengthen quickly

(Figure 3-5A).

CAUTION

If a chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO

TIGHT, the bar chain and saw bearings

witi wear more rapidly. Study Figure

cold tension (A), correct warm tension

(B), and as a guide for when saw chain

needs adjustment (C).

TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN TENSION:

1, Loosen the bar retaining nuts (D) so

they are hand tight.fSee Fig,3-5B)

2. Holding the nose of the bar up, use

the screwdriver or scrench if

provided in your User’s Kit to turn

the guide bar adjustment screw (E)

(Fig.3'5C) clockwise to tighten the

chain.Turning the screw

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

LOOSENS THE CHAIN on the guide

bar.

3. After adjustment and while wearing

heavy duty work gfoves, move the

saw chain back and forth on the

guide bar to be sure the chain

moves freely and is in proper mesh

with sprocket.Do not move chain

with bare hands,

NOTErif the chain is difficult to rotate or

if it binds on the guide bar, too much

tension has been applied and must be

adjusted.To decrease tension, turn the

adjustment screw counterclockwise

stowly.While moving the chain back and

forth until it moves freely.
