Before you start
WARNING! Disconnect the spark plug connector before adjusting saw chain
tension!
The cutting edges of the saw chain are sharp! Always wear protective gloves
when handling chain!
Always maintain proper chain tension! A loose chain increases the risk of
kickback! A loose chain may jump out of the guide bar groove! This may injure
the operator and damage the chain! A loose chain will cause rapid wear to the
chain, guide bar and the drive sprocket! Tensioning the chain too tightly will
overload the engine and cause damage, and insufficient tension can cause
chain derailing, whereas a correctly tightened chain provides the best cutting
characteristics and prolonged working life! The chain life mainly depends upon
sufficient lubrication and correct tensioning!
1. Lift the tip of the guide bar (2) up and hold for adjusting the chain tension (Fig. 7).
2. Turn the chain tension adjuster (19) until the saw chain (2) is tight around the guide
bar (2) (Fig. 8).

3. After adjusting the tension it should be possible to lift the saw chain (3) 3-4 mm from
the guide bar (2) (Fig. 9).
4. Tighten the fixing nuts (18) to secure the guide bar (2) and the clutch cover (20).
