6. Run the chain behind the drive chain wheel (E). Check if the chain links are well positioned between the
teeth of the chain wheel (Fig. 7).
7. Insert the links into the bar groove (F) (Fig. 7).
8. Rotate the chain to make sure the chain teeth are engaging the teeth of the chain wheel.
9. Replace the protection cover so that the bolts fit into the holes and the chain tensioning pin fits into
the lower hole in the bar (fig. 8).
10. Install both nuts, tighten them by hand, and then follow the instructions for adjusting the chain tension.
When the chain has reached the correct tension, tighten the nuts completely.
CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves when working with the chain.
Proper chain tension is extremely important and should be checked both before starting and periodically
during operation. Taking the time to adjust the chain will improve your performance and extend the life of
your saw.
WARNING! A new chain will sag quickly and require tensioning after 5 to 8 cuts. This is common with
new chains and the tensioning interval increases over time.
The mechanism will wear much faster if the chain is too loose or too tight. Look at fig. 9, which shows the
correct tension for a cold chain (A), a warm chain (B), and a chain whose tension needs to be adjusted (C).
