To adjust the chain tension, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure the chain brake handle is in the
disengaged
position (the chain
brake handle should be pulled back towards the handle).
2. Loosen the housing cover by
slightly rotating the cover locking
screw, (do not remove). See
diagram.
3. Use the blade tensioning wheel to
adjust the tension of the chain.
• Turn the blade tensioning wheel
clockwise to increase the
tension.
• Turn the blade tensioning wheel
anticlockwise to decrease the tension.
4. Pull the chain gently downwards at the centre of the bar. The chain is
correctly adjusted when gentle pulling only results in it moving 2-3 mm
away from the chain bar. See centre diagram below.
5. When the chain tension is correct, re-tighten the cover locking screw
securely.
6. Finally, pull the chain around the bar by hand - it should fit snugly around
the bar and move freely and smoothly.
NOTE:
If the chain binds or is difficult to rotate by hand, too much tension
has been applied. Repeat steps 2 to 6, turning the blade
tensioning dial clockwise slightly to reduce the tension.
