of force). This should be done by using one
hand to raise the chain against the weight of the
machine. Do not tension the chain too much.
NOTE:
The new chain will stretch while cutting
and lose proper tension. When the chain becomes
loose, completely unscrew the chain tensioning
knob (8) or turn the knob around three full turns in
a counter-clockwise direction, then retighten the
chain tensioning knob (8) to properly reset the chain
tension by repeating step 11 listed on the previous
page.
Tensioning the chain
Always check the chain tension before use, after
the first cuts and regularly during use. Upon initial
operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
WARNING: Unplug chainsaw from the mains power outlet socket
before adjusting saw chain tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
IMPORTANT: Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will
increase the risk of kickback. A loose chain may jump out of guide bar
groove. This may injure operator and damage chain. A loose chain
will cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly. The chain life of
the saw chain mainly depends upon sufficient lubrication and correct
tensioning. Avoid tensioning the chain if it is hot, as this will cause the
chain to become over tensioned when it cools down.
1. Place the chainsaw on any suitable flat surface.
2. Turn the chain tensioning knob (8) clockwise until it is hand tight. The
tension is automatically set while the chain tensioning knob is being
tightened (Fig A10).
3. Double check the tension set by the automatic chain tensioning knob
(8). The correct chain tension is reached when the chain (6) can be raised
approximately 0.12 – 0.24” (3 – 6 mm) from the guide bar (7) in the centre.
This should be done by using one hand to raise the chain against the
weight of the machine (Fig A11).
