10. Tighten the chain. Refer to
Adjust the chain tension.
11. Tighten the nuts when the chain is correctly tensioned.
NOTE
If you start the chain saw with a new chain, have a test for
2-3 minutes. A new chain gets longer after the first use,
examine the tension and tighten the chain if necessary.
11.2
ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the
slack.
Tension the chain so that it can only just be pulled away from
the bar at its centre point.
WARNING
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves if you touch the chain, bar or areas
around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the lock nuts with the wrench.
NOTE
It is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust the
chain tension.
3. Turn the chain adjustment screw clockwise to increase
the chain tension.
4. Turn the chain adjustment screw counterclockwise to
decrease the chain tension.
