2. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is
out of chain (see Figure 5). Note: There should
be no gap between side links of chain and bottom
of guide bar (see Figure 6).
3. Wearing protective gloves, move chain around
guide bar. Chain should move fieely. If chain
does not move fieely, loosen chain by turning
adjusting screw counterclockwise.
4. ASter chain tension is correct, tighten guide
bar nuts firmly. If not, guide bar will move and
loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk
of kickback. This can also damage saw. Note:
A new chain will stretch. Check new chain aster
first few minutes of operation. Allow chain to
cool down. Readjust chain tension.
FILLING OIL TANK

2. Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Note: For
temperatures below 30°K use SAE #10 oil. For
temperatures above 75°K use SAE #40 oil.
3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for
good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
Note: It isnormal for oil to seep when saw is not inuse.
Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.
