CHECKING THE CHAIN TENSION
1. A new chain must be tensioned after
no more than 5 cuts. Once the chain
has been run in it does not need to be
tensioned as often.
2. The chain is correctly tensioned when it
rests against the underside of the bar, but
can still be easily pulled along by hand.
3. Adjust the tension of the chain when
necessary.
TENSIONING THE CHAIN
1. Unscrew the nuts about 1 turn.
2. Lift the tip of the bar a little.
3. Tension the chain with the screw until the
chain is ush with the underside of the bar.
4. Tighten the nut.
NOTE:
Do not tension the chain too tightly, this will
result in abnormal wear and reduce the life
span of the chain and bar.
