See Figures 2-3, 37, 42-45.
WARNING
Never touch or adjust the chain while the
motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp.
Always wear protective gloves when performing
maintenance on the chain.
Stop the engine before setting the chain tension.

■
finger tight. (Figures 37)
Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to tension
■
the chain. (Figures 44)
NOTE: A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there
is no slack on the underside of the guide bar, the
chain is snug, and it can be turned by hand without
binding.
Retension the chain whenever the flats on the drive
■
links (A) hang out of the bar groove. (Figures 3)
Note: During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1.25
mm. out of the bar groove. The tip of the combination
wrench can be used as a guide to help determine the
correct warm chain tension.
Note : New chains tend to stretch; check the chain
tension frequently and tension as required.
CAUTION:
A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight
upon cooling. Check the "cold tension" before
next use.
