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 and refuel your saw.
You can adjust the chain tension by loosen-
ing the chain brake nuts and turning the ad-
justing screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on
the bar.
• If chain is tootight, turn adjusfing screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.
• If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw
1/4 turn clockwise.
Adjusting
Screw
• Lift up the tip of the bar and tighten the
chain brake nuts securely with the bar toot.
• Recheck chain tension. Tension is correct
when chain does not sag below the bar but
still can be moved around the bar.
_IkWARNING: If the chain is operated
with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.
