• Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will increase the risk of
kickback. A loose chain may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure operator
and damage chain. A loose chain will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear
rapidly.

2. Turn the Chain Tensioning Knob (11) clockwise until it is hand tight.
NOTE: The tension is automatically increased while the Chain Tensioning Knob (11) is being
turned in a clockwise direction. The built-in ratchet mechanism prevents the chain tension from
loosening.
3. Tilt the saw forward (See Fig. E1) so the Guide Bar (9) tip is pushed in an upward direction.
This will remove slack from the chain.
4. Fully tighten the Chain Tensioning Knob (11) by turning it clockwise.
5. Double check the tension set by the automatic Chain Tensioning Knob. The correct chain
tension is reached when the Chain (10) can be raised approximately half the drivelink depth
from the Guide Bar (9) in the centre. This should be done by using one hand to raise the
chain against the weight of the machine. (See Fig. E2) NOTE: The Chain (10) is properly
tensioned when it can be lifted off of the Guide Bar (9) and the drivelink is within the rail of
the Guide Bar (9).
NOTE: The Chain (10) will stretch while cutting and lose proper tension. When the chain
becomes loose, completely unscrew the Chain Tensioning Knob (11) or turn the knob around
three (3) full turns in a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the Chain Tensioning Knob
(11) to properly reset the chain tension by repeating Steps 1-4 listed above.
