8.6 Adjusting chain tension
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental operation, ensure that battery is remo-
ved from the tool before performing the following operations.
a) Loosening bar adjust locking knob counterclockwise one or two full turn.
b) Chain tensioning knob must be rotated counterclockwise to its suitable turn to adjust chain
tension.
c） With the saw on a firm surface, check the saw chain tension. The tension is correct when the
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8 inch (3mm) away from the guide bar with light force from the
middle finger and thumb as shown in figure (Fig.21A). There should be no "sag" between the guide
bar and the chain on the underside as shown in figure. (Fig.21B).
d) Once chain tension is correct, securely tighten bar adjust locking knob clockwise to stop.
e) When the chain is new, check the tension frequently (after removing battery) during the first 2
hours of use as a new chain stretches slightly.
