Chain-Tensioning Screw

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION 

Check the chain tension before and during operation. The saw chain 

will expand as it heats up during operation. Adjust the chain tension 

whenever the flats on the saw chain hang out of the bar groove (Fig. 

13 & Fig. 16).  
NOTE: A new saw chain tends to stretch and will need readjustment 

after as few as five (5) cuts. This is normal during the break-in 

period. The interval between future adjustments will lengthen 

quickly. 

1. Loosen the bar-retaining nuts, but do not remove them (Fig. 10). 
2. Hold the guide bar tip up (Fig. 14) and use a flat-head 

screwdriver to turn the chain-tensioning screw (Fig. 15).  

• Turn the chain-tensioning screw clockwise to tighten the saw 

chain.  

• Turn the chain-tensioning screw counterclockwise to loosen 

the saw chain.  

The saw chain should fit snuggly against the underside of the 

guide bar. There should be no sag (Fig. 16). 

3. Continue to hold the guide bar tip up. Tighten the bar-retaining 

nuts securely. 

4. Move the saw chain back and forth on the guide bar. If the saw 

chain does not move freely, loosen the chain tension.

CAUTION:

 The guide bar, saw chain, and saw bearings 

will wear more rapidly if the saw chain is not properly 

tensioned. Maintaining proper chain tension will improve 

cutting performance and prolong the life of the saw chain.

WARNING:

 To prevent serious injury, never touch the 

saw chain or adjust the chain tension while the unit is 

running. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool. 

Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the unit from 

starting accidentally.

WARNING:

 The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear 

heavy-duty protective gloves when handling or performing 

maintenance on the saw chain.

CAUTION:

 If the saw chain was tensioned while warm, it 

may become too tight when cooled. Loosen the chain 

tension after operation and check the chain tension before 

the next use.
