CARE AND MAINTENANCE
f. Replace the side cover (H) and lightly tighten
the side-cover knob by turning it clockwise, but
do not fully tighten it (Fig. 11f).

occasionally.
CAUTION
• The saw chain must be properly tensioned
before using.
g. Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag.
Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten
the side-cover knob securely and fold the tab.
The chain is automatically tensioned now.
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is
no sag on the underside of the guide bar and
the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand
without binding (Fig. 11g).
NOTICE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen
the side-cover knob slightly. Lift the tip of the guide
bar up and retighten the side-cover knob securely.
Assure that the chain will rotate without binding.
