SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper tension of the saw chain is extremely important and
must be checked before starting, as well as during, any cut-
ting  operation. Taking  the  time  to  make  needed  adjust-
ments to the  saw chain will result  in improved cutting per-
formance and prolonged chain life.
NOTE: A new chain and bar will need readjustment after as
few as 5 cuts.This is normal during the break-in period, and
the interval between future adjustments will lengthen quick-
ly (Figure 3-5A).
7.
Install the  bar retaining  nuts hand  tight, (Proceed  to
saw chain tension Adjustment).
CAUTION
If a chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TIGHT, the bar chain and
saw bearings will wear  more rapidly. Study Figure 3-5A for
information  concerning  correct  cold  tension  (A),  correct
warm  tension  (B),  and  as a  guide  for  when  saw  chain
needs adjustment (C).
