CHAIN TENSION

(Including units with

chain already installed)

NOTE:

When adjusting chain tension,

make sure the chain brake nuts are finger

tight only. Attempting to tension the chain

when the chain brake nuts are tight can

cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-

ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around

the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too

tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the

bar.

Tool (Bar Tool)

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chain

stretches during use. This is especially true

during the first few times you use your saw.

Always check chain tension each time you

use and refuel your saw.

An adjusting screw (located on the guide bar)

is used to adjust the tension of the chain (see

illustration).

Turn adjusting screw clockwise until chain

solidly contacts bottom of guide bar rail.

Using the screwdriver end of the bar tool,

roll chain around guide bar to ensure all

links are in bar groove.

Lift up tip of guide bar to check for sag. Re-

lease tip of guide bar, then turn adjusting

screw until sag does not exist.

Tighten bar clamp nuts securely with the

bar tool.

Chain Brake

Nuts

Use the screwdriver end of the bar tool to

move chain around guide bar.

If chain does not rotate, it is too tight.

Slightly loosen bar clamp nuts and loosen

chain by turning the adjusting screw. Re-

tighten bar clamp nuts.

If chain is too loose, it will sag below the

guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if the

chain is loose.

WARNING:

If the saw is operated

with a loose chain, the chain could jump off

the guide bar and result in serious injury.
