MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
• Rotate the chain cover lock knob clockwise to secure. Re-tension the chain whenever the ats
on the drive links hang out of the bar groove.
WARNING
Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The chainsaw is very sharp. Always
wear protective gloves when performing maintenance on the chain.
WARNING
A chain tensioned while warm may be too tight upon cooling. Check the “cold tension” before
next use.
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. (1.3 mm) out of the bar groove.
NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain tension frequently and tension as required.
