A new chain must be tensioned after no more than 5 cuts. Once the chain has been run in, it does not need to be
tensioned so often.

2. Loosen the chain tensioning knob (9). See Fig. 3.
3. Lift the tip of the bar a little.
4. Tighten the chain tensioning knob. See Fig. 7. NOTICE! Do not over-tighten the knob to prevent excessive
wearing of the chain and bar.
Æ The chain is correctly tensioned if it rests against the underside of the bar and if it can be easily pulled along by
hand. See Fig. 8.
