Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the combination
screwdriver/wrench tool to move the chain
aroundthe bar.Ifthe chain does not rotate, it
is too tight. Iftoo loose, the chain will sagbe-
low the bar.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain
and/or discoloration of the bar.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount (5 to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or
kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough
oil for adequate lubrication.
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 chain tension by loosening
the bar clamp nuts and turning the adjust-
ing screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up onbar.
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.
