Adjusting saw chain tension
CAUTION:
Excessively loose saw chain may jump off the bar, and therefore presents an
accident risk. If the saw chain is too loose, adjust it.
Excessively high tension of saw chain may cause breakage of saw chain, wear of
the guide bar and breakage of the adjusting screw/dial.
The saw chain may become loose after many hours of use. When you change the
saw chain or after some hours of operation, check the saw chain tension before
use. Properly adjusted saw chain contributes good performance and tool’s long life.
The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests against the bottom side of the
guide bar and can still be easily turned by hand.
Check the chain tension frequently, new chain tends to become longer during use.
To adjust tension of the saw chain, perform the following procedure:
1. Release the chain brake by pulling the front hand guard.
2. (For model EA3600F) Unscrew the retaining nuts a bit to loosen the chain cover.
(For model EA3601F) Press and fully open the lever until it stops. Turn the lever
counterclockwise a bit to loosen the chain cover.
3. Slightly lift and hold the tip of the guide bar.
4. (For model EA3600F) Turn the chain adjusting screw to adjust the saw chain
tension.
(For model EA3601F) Turn the chain adjusting dial to adjust the saw chain
tension.
5. Adjust the chain tension until the lower side of the saw chain ts in the guide bar
rail (see circle in the gure).
During adjusting the chain tension, keep lifting up the tip of the guide bar.
6. Keep holding the guide bar lightly, and tighten the chain cover after adjusting the
chain tension.
(For model EA3600F) Tighten the retaining nuts to secure the chain cover.
(For model EA3601F) Turn the lever fully clockwise to secure the chain cover.
Then press and close the lever.
7. Make sure that the saw chain does not loose at lower side but it ts snugly
against the lower side of the bar.
