E. CHAIN TENSION
• Correct chain tension is very important:
--a loose chain wilt wear the bar and itself.
--a loose chain can jump off the bar while
you are cutting.
--a tight chain can damage the saw and/or
break.
• The chain stretches during use, especially
when new. Check tension:

-- more t_requentiywhen the chainisnew
as thechain warms up tonormaloperatingtem-

• Chain tensioning procedure:
NOTE: The bar clamp nuts mustbe no more than
finger tight to tension the chain correctly.
NOTE: Holdup the tip of the Guide Bar through
step 4.
