Adjusting the chain using the chain tensioner
WARNING! Always use protective, non-cut gloves when touching the cutting chain.
DANGER!
Always disconnect the “spark plug lead”
before touching the cutting chain.
IMPORTANT! After running a new chain for 5min the tension must be re-checked. An old chain must be checked
every 15min of use.
1.
Disconnect the “spark plug lead” before adjusting your chain.
2.
Slightly loosen the 13mm “main n
uts
” on the
side of the chainsaw and tighten the chain tensioner with a flat
bladed screw driver until the chain is tight enough to not jump off the “guide bar”, the chain must have some
give or stress on the machine will result (Refer to parts diagrams for locations).
How to tension the cutting chain (use non-cut gloves)
Using a pair of protective gloves pull the chain around the bar by hand and loosen the adjustment if you feel tight
spots.
Perform a Snap Test
A quick way to measure the tension of a chainsaw chain is to perform what's known as a "snap test." A properly
tensioned chain will rapidly snap back into position around the top of the bar and show no signs of sagging along the
bottom of the bar.
1. Start by disconnecting the chainsaw's spark plug lead.
2. While holding the chainsaw in one hand, grasp the chain along the top centre of the chainsaw's bar with two
fingers of your other hand. (Always wear heavy gloves and protective eyewear when performing this test.)
3. Lift the chain away from the bar and then quickly release it.
NOTE! If the chain falls loosely into position along the top of the bar or sags along the bottom of the bar the
tension needs to be adjusted.
