CHECK CHAIN TENSION
° Chain tension is correct when the
chain can be lifted about 1/8" from the
guide bar at a point near the middle of
the bar.
° With your unit unplugged, check
your chain to make sure it is
properly tensioned.
° When your chain needs tensioning,
use the following procedure:
NOTE: It is recommended that the saw
be turned upside down for chain
tensioning.
° Unplug unit from the power source.
° Loosen bar nuts until they are only
finger tight.
° Turn the adjusting screw clockwise
until the drive links on the chain enter
the guide bar groove.
