If you start the chain saw with a new chain, have a test for
2-3 minutes. A new chain gets longer after the first use,
examine the tension and tighten the chain if necessary.
11.2

ADJUST THE CHAIN TENSION

The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the
slack.
Tension the chain so that it can only just be pulled away from
the bar at its centre point.
A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
Wear protective gloves if you touch the chain, bar or areas
around the chain.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Loosen the chain cover by turning the chain cover knob
counterclockwise.
It is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust the
chain tension.
3. Turn the chain tension knob clockwise to increase the
chain tension.
4. Turn the chain tension knob counterclockwise to decrease
the chain tension.
5. When the chain is at the wanted tension, tighten the chain
cover.
During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain
increases. The drive links of a correctly tensioned warm
chain will hang approximately 1/16 in. (1,58 mm) out of the
bar groove.
