A chain which is too loose can jump off the bar,

and therefore presents an accident risk.
Carry out the procedure of installing or removing

saw chain in a clean place free from sawdust and
the like.

When engaging the extension cord, secure it to the
chain saw's cord with the cord hook.
Attach the cord hook about 100 - 200 mm (4 - 8") from
the extension cord connector. This helps prevent
unintentional disconnection.
