• Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain

brake. Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the

bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.

• Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by

tightening the chain tensioning screw using the

combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does

not sag from the underside of the bar.

• Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts

while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check

that you can pull the chain round freely by hand and

that it does not sag from the underside of the bar.

The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain

saws varies from model to model. See instructions under

the heading What is what? to ﬁnd out where it is on your

model.
