excessive wear and will reduce the life of the guide bar
and saw chain.
6. Once saw chain tension is correct, tighten bar lock nut
until snug.
7. A new chain stretches slightly during the first few hours
of use. It is important to check the tension frequently
(after disconnect it from power source) during the first
