Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner screw clockwise until the chain seats snugly
against the bar with the drive links
flush inside the bar
groove (Fig.

).
NOTE:
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no
sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug,
but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more
information on chain tensioning, see the maintenance
section beginning on pg. 16.

Tighten the end cover nut using the M8 hex key wrench.
NOTE:
If the chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the
end cover nut slightly and turn the chain tensioner 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and retighten
the end cover nut. Ensure that the chain can be rotated by
hand without binding.
NOTE:
A new chain tends to stretch; check the chain tension
frequently, and adjust tension as required.
