A warm chain is correctly tensioned when the flats
on the tie straps hang approximately .050 inches
out of the bar groove.
If adjustment is needed:
Remove the combination wrench from the stor-
age area.
Loosen the chain cover screw to finger tight.
Raise the tip of the guide bar and continue to
hold up until the end of this procedure.
Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise until
the flats on the tie straps of the chain contact
the bar, making sure the drive links are seated
inside the bar groove.
Retighten the chain cover screw securely.
Release the tip of the guide bar and verify the
chain is now correctly tensioned using the
guidelines above.
NOTE: If the chain is too tight and will not ro-
tate, loosen the chain cover screw slightly, then
turn the chain tensioning screw 1/4 turn coun-
terclockwise. Lift up the tip of the guide bar,
retighten the chain cover screw securely, then
verify the chain will now rotate without binding.
NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the
chain tension frequently and adjust as needed.
Return the combination wrench to the storage
area.
NOTICE:
A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight
upon cooling. Check the “cold tension” before
next use.
