WARNING!
Always disconnect the spark plug connector
before adjusting the saw chain tension!
The cutting edges of the saw chain are sharp. Always
wear protective gloves when handling the chain!
Always maintain proper chain tension! A loose chain
increases the risk of kickback! A loose chain may jump out
of the guide bar groove! This may injure the operator and
damage the chain! A loose chain will cause rapid wear to
the chain, guide bar and sprocket!
Tensioning the chain too tightly will overload the motor and
cause damage, and insufficient tension can cause chain
derailing, whereas a correctly tightened chain provides
the best cutting characteristics and prolonged working life!
The chain life mainly depends upon sufficient lubrication
and correct tensioning!
