An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad-
just the tension of the chain. It is very im-
portant when assembling
the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment
pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment
before you
begin mounting the bar onto the sew. See
following illustration.
