CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
1. Loosen the nuts (on the protective cover) and turn the adjusting screw (D) clockwise to tighten the
chain. Turn the adjusting screw (D) counterclockwise to decrease chain tension. Make sure the chain is
all the way around the bar (fig. 10).
2. After adjusting the chain, tighten the nuts securing the bar (protective cap together with the brake
shield) firmly. The chain is considered properly tensioned if you can move it over the bar by hand with
little effort. The chain should fit well on the underside of the saw blade and be pulled by hand away
from the blade by about 2-4 mm.
NOTE: If the chain has difficulty moving on the bar or stops, it is overtightened. Loosen the tension.
CHECKING THE CHAIN BRAKE
Your chain saw has a chain brake that reduces the chance of injury if the saw bounces. The safety device is
triggered when pressure is applied to the brake guard. When the operator's hand strikes the shield, the
chain stops sharply.
WARNING! The chain brake reduces the chance of injury from chain saw bounce, but does not
provide protection if the unit is operated carelessly. Check that the chain brake is in good working order
before starting work and periodically while working with the chainsaw.
The chain brake has two positions:
1. The brake is off (the chain can move) when the brake shield is pulled back (A) (fig. 11).
2. The brake is on (the chain cannot move) with the brake shield pointing forward (B). In this case, the
chain should not move on the bar (fig. 11).
To check the chain brake:
1. Place the saw on a level surface and turn off the chain brake. The chain should not come into contact
with anything.
2. Start the chainsaw by pressing the throttle lock key and the throttle key.
