Chain Tensioning Check (continued)
If loose chain is found before use, please follow up the instruction below.
(If tight chain is found before use, please do the opposite to the below instruction.)
Firstly slightly tighten the Knob (9) clockwise. (Fig.7)
Do not tighten the locking nut completely and saw chain tensioning is required first.
NOTE: The saw chain (4) has not yet been tensioned. Tension the chain as described under
“Saw chain tensioning”. After operating the product for approximately 1 hour, adjust the
chain tension again.
Saw Chain Tensioning
Always check the saw chain tension before use, after first cuts and regularly during use
approximately every five cuts. After initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
This is normal during the break-in period and the interval between future adjustments will
lengthen quickly.
Set the product on a suitable flat surface.
Turn the tension knob (8)clockwise until the chain “tie straps” are adjust touching the bottom
edge of the guide bar(5) Fig.(8).
