CHAIN TENSION (Including units
with chain already installed)
NOTE
: When adjusting chain tension, make
sure the chain brake nuts are finger tight only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the chain
brake nuts are tight can cause damage.
Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the
bar.

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 chain brake
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.
S If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw
1/4 turn clockwise.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer .
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration of the bar .
Only use Bar and Chain Oil for bar and chain
lubrication.

NOT USE automotive or boat oil. These oils
will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel
follow the instructions printed on the container.
Always read and follow the safety rules relating
