CHAIN TENSION (Including units with
Inside view of

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.
Adjustment located on Chain Brake
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.
S Turn the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise to move the adjusting pin almost as
far as it will go to the rear.This should allow
the pin to be near the correct position. Fur-
ther adjustment may be necessary as you
mount the bar.
S Mount the bar as illustrated.
S Slide the bar toward the rear of the saw as
far as possible.
S Prepare the chain by checking the proper
direction. Without following the illustration
it is easy to place the chain on the saw in
the wrong direction. Use the illustration of
the chain to determine the proper direc-
tion.

Adjusting the tension:
S Place the chain onto the sprocket located
behind the clutch drum (see illustration).
Fit the chain between the teeth in the
sprocket.
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.
S Start at the top of the bar and fit chain into
groove around the guide bar.
S Pull the bar forward until the chain is snug
in the groove of the bar.
You can adjust the chain tension by loosen-
ing the chain brake nuts and turning the ad-
justing screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on
the bar.
S Hold guide bar against the saw frame and
install the chain brake. Make sure the ad-
justing pin is aligned with the hole in the
bar. Remember this pin moves the bar for-
wardand backward as the screw is turned.
S Replace the chain brake nuts and tighten
finger tight. Once the chain is tensioned
you will need to tighten chain brake nuts.
S
If chain is too tight, turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
If chain is too loose, turn adjusting
screw 1/4 turn clockwise.
