MAINTENANCE

ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION

W A R N I N G
Never touch or adjust the chain while the
motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp.
Always wear protective gloves when performing
maintenance on the chain.
• Loosen the chain cover lock nuts with the
supplied wrench. The chain cover lock nuts do
not have to be completely removed in order to
adjust the chain tension.
• Rotate the chain adjustment screw clockwise to
increase the chain tension and rotate
counterclockwise to decrease the chain tension.
• Once the chain is at the desired tension, tighten
the chain cover lock nuts.
NOTE: During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1/16 in.
(1,58 mm) out of the bar groove.
NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain
tension frequently and tension as required.
