If chain is too loose, it will sag below the
guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if
the chain is loose.
WARNING: If the saw is operated
with a loose chain, the chain could jump offthe
guide bar and result in serious injury to the op-
erator and/or damage the chain making it un-
usable. If the chain jumps off the guide bar, in-
spect each drive link for damage. Damaged
chain must be repaired or replaced.
NOTE:
The chain is tensioned correctly
when the weight of the chain does not cause it
to sag below the guide bar (with the chain saw
sitting in an upright position), but the chain still
moves freely around the guide bar.
