STEP 9: Lightly pull on the chain. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back
after being pulled 3 mm away from the guide bar.
STEP 10: After a short period of use, allow the chain to cool, unplug the chainsaw
and check the tension again. Watch tension carefully for the rst half-hour of use and
periodically throughout the life of the chain readjusting as required when the chain
and bar are cool to the touch. Never tension chain when it is hot.
Chain will stretch as a result of normal use, however, insucient oil, aggressive use,
or failure to perform recommended maintenance can lead to premature stretching.
