Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, E–H)
WARNING: Incorrect saw chain tension can cause the
saw chain to come off of the guide bar and could cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE: Saw chain tension should be adjusted regularly
before eachuse.
1. With the saw still on a firm surface check the saw
chain

tension. The tension is correct when the saw
chain snaps back after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away
from the guide bar
4
with light force from the middle
finger and thumb as shown in Fig.G. There should be no
“sag” between the guide bar and the saw chain on the
underside as shown in Fig.H.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, loosen bar lock nut
7
.
3. Rotate the chain tensioning screw
8
in the front of
the housing using the flat screwdriver end of the
hex wrench
16
.
4. Check saw chain tension, adjust ifneeded.
5. Do not over-tension the saw chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain. Overtensioning also reduces the amount
of cuts you will get per batterycharge.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock nut
7
untilsnug
. Torque the bar lock nut
7
to 6 ft-lbs (8 Nm).
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours
of use. It is important to check the tension frequently
(after disconnecting battery remove the battery pack)
during the first twohours ofuse.
