3.6. TENSIONING THE CHAIN
Refer to the Figures 8 and 9 throughout the following procedure.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE STARTING
CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
3.6.1. If you are not continuing from Section 3.5, disconnect hydraulic hoses from
the saw and place it on a flat surface.
3.6.2. Loosen the Cover Retaining Nuts (#28) using the Scrench (#79).
The Cover
(#26) does not need to be removed.
3.6.3. Turn the bar adjustment Tensioner Screw (#60) clockwise until chain is
hanging approximately ¼‖ below the bottom of the bar. This can be easily
checked using the shaft of the Scrench (#79) to measure the clearance. The
shaft is ¼‖ so this is a quick way to confirm this.
3.6.4. Chain tension needs to be adjusted periodically before the drive links can
come completely out of the groove of the bar.
3.6.5. If the Tension Screw is all the way out and the chain hangs more than
¼”, move the Guide Bar forward so that Positon Hole 2 is engaged with
the Tensioner Carriage (#53). This will provide additional adjustment for
the bar and chain.
3.6.6. Use the Scrench (#79) to tighten the two Cover Retaining Nuts (#28).
CAUTION:
IF THE CHAIN IS TOO LOOSE DURING SAW OPERATION, THERE IS AN
INCREASED RISK OF CHAIN THROWING.
WARNING:
NEVER OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT THE COVER INSTALLED. DOING
THIS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
