Adjusting the tension:
Chah_ tension is very h-nportant. Chain
stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.
You can adjust the chain tension by
loosening the chain brake nuts and turning
the adjusting screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting
up on the bar.
• If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.
• If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw
1/4 turn clockwise.

snug in the guide bar groove. Ensure all
drive links are in the bar groove.
11. Now, install chain brake making sure the
adjusting pin is positioned in the lower
hole in the guide bar. Remember this pin
moves the bar forward and backward as
the screw is turned.
12. Install chain brake nuts and finger tighten
only. Once the chain is tensioned, you
will need to tighten chain brake nuts.
CHAIN TENSION (Including units with
chain already installed)
NOTE: When adjusting ehah3 tension,
make sure the chah_ brake nuts are finger
tight only. Attempting to tension the chain
when the chain brake nuts are tight can
cause damage.
Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chah_ will sag below the
bar.
