If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen
the side cover knob slightly and turn the tensioning knob
once from right to left. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the side cover knob securely. Assure that the
chain will rotate without binding.

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension. Make sure the side
cover knob is loosened. Turn the chain tensioning
knob clockwise to tension the chain. See the section:
"REPLACE THE BAR AND CHAIN" for additional
information.
A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on
the underside of the guide bar and the chain is snug, but it
can be turned by hand without binding. The chain must be
re-tensioned whenever the flats on the drive links do not sit
in the bar groove.
During normal saw operation, the temperature of
the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1.3 mm
out of the bar groove (Fig. M).
NOTICE:
New chains tend to stretch; check chain tension
frequently and tension as required.
NOTICE:
A chain tensioned while it is warm may be too
tight upon cooling. Check the cold tension before next use.
