6. INSTALLING GUIDE BAR & SAW CHAIN
A new chain will expand its length from the start of its use.
Check and readjust the tension frequently as a loose chain
can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the guide
bar.

NOTE
7. Position the brake plate back in the right place and reattach
it to finger tightness.
8. If the side plate won’t move back into position, make sure
that the tensioning pin is aligning with with the hole in the
bar. You can adjust the position of the pin by gently pulling
it while you twist the tension screw.
9. While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the chain tension
by turning the tensioning screw. To ensure the chain fits cor-
rectly on the chain bar, pull gently up and down and adjust
the tension screw until the chain can barely be moved away
from the chain bar.
10. Tighten the nuts securely with the bar tip held up (12 ~ 15
N·m). Then check the chain for smooth rotation and proper
tension by moving with your hand. If necessary, readjust with
the chain cover loose.
