To adjust the tension of the saw chain
WARNING:
incorrect tension can come loose from the
guide bar and cause serious injury or death.
A saw chain becomes longer when you use it. It is
important to adjust the tension of the saw chain regularly
to make sure that it is correct. Do a check of the tension
of the saw chain before you operate the product. Tighten
the saw chain as tightly as possible, but it must be
possible to pull the saw chain around freely by hand.
Note:
A new saw chain has a running-in period. Do a
check of the tension more frequently during this period.
1. Turn the locking knob counterclockwise to unlock the
chain tension adjuster.
2. Turn the chain tension adjuster clockwise to tighten
the saw chain. Apply as much tension to the saw
chain as possible. It must be tight against the guide
bar.
3. Make sure that you can pull the saw chain around
freely by hand and that it does not hang from the
guide bar.
4. Turn the locking knob clockwise to lock the chain
tension adjuster.
