before continuing with this section.

When the chain tension is correct, whilst still supporting the tip of
the bar, re-tighten the housing cover lock securely.

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.
