make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only.
Attemptingto tension the chain when the bar
nuts are tight can cause damage.

is too tight. If too loose, the chain will sag be-

Adjusting the tension:
Chain tension is very important.
Chain
stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.
You can adjust the chain tension by loosening
the bar clamp nuts and turning the adjusting
screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on the bar.
S
If chain is too tight, turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
