56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW26
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before adjusting the chain tension.
Make sure the side cover knob is loosened. Turn the chain tensioning knob
clockwise to tension the chain. See the section: “REPLACE THE BAR AND
CHAIN” earlier in this manual for additional information.
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 ats on the drive links do not sit in the bar groove.
During normal saw operation, the
temperature of 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. 13).
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.
