To check proper tension, lightly lift up the center of the Saw Chain
[225]<225>
and there should be
about 0.5 to 1.0 mm clearance between the Chain Bar 10
[226]<226>
and the edge of the drive link of
the Saw Chain
[225]<225>
(when drawing it out at load of 1 kg.)
CAUTION: PROPER TENSION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
Raise the end of the Chain Bar 10
[226]<226>
and securely tighten the Chain Bar Clamp Nut
[227]<227>
with the Combi. Box Spanner 13 x 19 Minus
[501]<501>
. The new Saw Chain
[225]<225>
will stretch so adjust the Saw Chain
[225]<225>
after a few cuts and watch tension of the Saw Chain
[225]<225>
carefully for the first half hour of cutting.
CAUTION: When the chain is excessively tightened, the bar and chain will be damaged rapidly.
Conversely, when the chain is excessively loosened, it may get out of the groove in
the bar. Always wear gloves when touching the chain.
