GASOLINE CHAIN SAW
10. Install both nuts, tighten them by hand, and then follow the instructions for adjusting the chain tension.
When the chain has reached the correct tension, tighten the nuts completely.
Chain tension adjustment
WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves when working with the chain.
Proper chain tension is extremely important and should be checked both before starting and periodically
during operation. Taking the time to adjust the chain will improve your performance and extend the life
of your saw.
WARNING!
A new chain will sag quickly and require tensioning after 5 to 8 cuts. This is common with new
chains and the tensioning interval increases over time.
The cogwheel, tire, chain, and crankshaft will wear much faster if the chain is too loose or too tight.
Look at fig. 10, which shows the correct tension for a cold chain (A), a warm chain (B), and a chain whose
tension needs to be adjusted (C).
Chain tension adjusting procedure
1. Loosen the tire nuts (protective cover with brake shield) and turn the adjusting screw (D) clockwise
to tighten the chain. Turn the adjusting screw (D) counterclockwise to decrease chain tension. Make sure
the chain is all the way around the bar (fig. 11).
2. After adjusting the chain, tighten the nuts securing the bar (protective cap together with the brake shield)
firmly. The chain is considered properly tensioned if you can move it over the bar by hand with little effort.
The chain should fit well on the underside of the saw blade and be pulled by hand away from the blade
by about 2-4 mm.
