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.
CHAIN  TENSION  (Including  units  with
chain already installed)
NOTE:   When
adjusting   chain   tension,
make sure the bar nuts are finger tight  only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the bar
nuts are tight can cause damage.
S  Mount the bar as illustrated.
S  Slide the bar toward the rear of the saw as
far as possible.
Checking the tension:
S  Prepare the chain by checking the proper
direction. Without  following the illustration
it is easy to place the chain on the saw the
wrong direction. Use the illustration  of the
chain to determine the proper  direction.
S  Place the chain onto the sprocket located
behind  the clutch  drum (see illustration).
Fit  the  chain  between  the  teeth  in  the
sprocket.
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  Start at the top of the bar and fit chain into
groove around the guide bar.
S  After chain is installed, pull bar forward un-
til chain is snug in the groove  of the bar.
S  Hold guide baragainst the saw frame mak-
ing sure  the adjusting  pin is aligned  with
the  hole  in the  bar.  Remember  this pin
moves the bar  forward and backward  as
screw is turned. Install the  chain brake.
S  Replace the chain brake nuts  and tighten
finger tight.  Once  the chain  is tensioned
you will need to tighten  chain brake nuts.
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.

Tip of Bar
You can  adjust chain  tension by  loosening
the  bar  clamp  nuts  and turning  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.
If chain is too loose, turn  adjusting
screw 1/4 turn clockwise.
Proper chain direction
S
S  Lift up the tip of the bar and tighten the bar
clamp  nuts with  the combination  screw-
driver/wrench.
S  Recheck chain tension. Tension is correct
when chain does not sag below the bar but
still can be moved around the  bar.
WARNING: If  the chain is operated
with a loose chain,  the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious  injury.
