TENSIONING THE SAW CHAIN
STEP 11: Loosen the side cover release
knob slightly, but do not remove the
side cover.
STEP 12: Hold up the nose of the guide
bar (A) and turn the chain tensioning
ring clockwise.
STEP 13: Tighten the chain tensioning
ring until the lowest cutters
underneath the bar solidly contact the
bar (B).
STEP 14: 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 15: 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.
INCORRECT CORRECT
IMPORTANT: The saw chain must be
properly tensioned before using.
