Saw Chain Tension:
Tension checking and adjusting must be done frequently before start and during cutting operations.
The chain must be set to the proper tension in order for the saw to function properly. If the chain is
too loose, the chain can jump the track of the guide bar, probably causing damage to the bar and
associated components. If the chain is adjusted too tight, heat and wear will ruin the guide bar.
Setting Tension:
Disconnect Hoses or shut off the hydraulic supply system before making adjustments.
The adjusting screw is in the motor, head, and drive unit. Check tension by pulling the chain
at the bottom side (Fig. 8) away from the guide with a two-pound (approx.) pull. If the chain
pulls away more than 1/8”, the chain is too loose. Less than 1/8” is too tight. Loosen the
two mounting screws that hold the chain bar to the frame. Turn the adjusting screw
counterclockwise to loosen tension, clockwise to increase tension. Retighten mounting
screws and recheck tension. Tightening mounting screws may alter the setting. If
necessary, repeat the process until the chain has 1/8” space between the chain and guide.
