7. Tighten the nuts securely with the bar tip held up (12
~ 15 N·m). Then check the chain for smooth rotation
and proper tension while moving it by hand. If neces-
sary, readjust with the chain cover loose.

A new chain will expand its length in the beginning of
use. Check and readjust the tension frequently as a
loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of
itself and the guide bar.
Open the box and install the guide bar and the saw
chain on the power unit as follows:
WARNING

protective gloves for safety.
1. Pull the guard towards the front handle to check that
the chain brake is not engaged.
2. Loosen the nuts and remove the chain cover.
3. Install the attached spike to the power unit.
4. Gear the chain to the sprocket and, while fitting the
saw chain around the guide bar, mount the guide bar
to the power unit. Adjust the position of chain ten-
sioner nut on the chain cover to the lower hole of guide
bar.
