into a hole in the bar . Tu rning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment before you
begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See

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.
