7. Ensure that the adjusting block is
located in the tensioning hole on
the chain bar.

keep tension on the chain.

10. Turn the tension knob Clockwise
to tighten the chain.
NOTE:
- Chains stretch with use, check and tension often.
- Never tension a warm chain before storing, as chains shrink when cool,
this can damage chain, bar and saw.
11. Until there is enough play that the
chain can be pulled away from the bar,
but not so much that the runners can
be pulled out of the bar.
12. Once you have the correct tension,
fully tighten the locking knob.
