NOTICE:
When looping the saw chain onto the guide bar,
make sure that after mounting the guide bar onto the saw,
the cutter orientation matches the cutter icon and rotation
direction arrow on the housing. If they face in opposite
directions, reassemble the saw chain onto the guide bar
with the cutters facing the same direction (Fig. E2).
7. Replace the side cover onto the chain saw housing
and fully tighten both lock nuts.
8. Rotate the chain by hand to check whether the chain
is properly assembled without binding. Otherwise,
reassemble the chain and bar.
NOTICE:
To extend the guide bar life, invert the bar
occasionally.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
◾
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension. Turn the chain-tensioning
bolt clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust chain
tension (Fig. F) until the chain seats snugly against the
guide bar with the drive links in the guide bar groove.
◾
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 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. G).
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.
