CHAIN TENSION (Including units
with chain already installed)
When adjusting chain tension, make sure
the chain brake nuts are finger tight only. At-
tempting to tension the chain when the chain
brake nuts are tight can cause damage.
Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the
bar.
Chain Brake Nuts Tool (Bar Tool)
Adjusting the tension:
Chain tension is very important. Chain
stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.
An adjusting screw (located on the guide bar)
is used to adjust the tension of the chain (see
iflustration).
• Turn adjusting screw clockwise until chain
solidly contacts bottom of guide bar rail.

• Using the screwdriver end of the bar tool,
roll chain around guide bar to ensure all
links are in bar groove.
• Lift up tip of guide bar to check for sag. Re-
lease tip of guide bar, then turn adjusting
screw until sag does not exist.
• Tighten bar clamp nuts securely with the
bar tool.
Chain Brake
• Use the screwdriver end of the bar tool to
move chain around guide bar.
• If chain does not rotate, it is too tight.
Slightly loosen bar clamp nuts and loosen
chain by turning the adjusting screw. Re-
tighten bar clamp nuts.
• If chain is too loose, it will sag below the
guide bar.
WARNING:
If the saw is operated
with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.
