Saw Chain
HOW TO TENSION YOUR CHAIN (CONTINUED)
3c. IF YOU HAVE AN INTENZ
®
SPROCKET-NOSE BAR
Turn the tension-adjust
slot until the bottoms
of the lowest cutters
and tie straps come up
and
solidly contact the
bottom of the bar rail.
Tighten your saw’s rear
bar-mounting nut first,
then tighten the front
mounting nut. It is not
necessary to hold the
nose up when adjusting
tension on Intenz
®
bars.
When replacing a standard bar with an Intenz
®
bar, the saw's adjustment pin must be removed.
Contact your dealer if you need help.
4. Pull the chain by hand along the top of
the bar several times, from the engine
to the bar’s tip. Chain should feel snug
but still pull freely.
If you have a sprocket-nose bar you should now
perform the snap test. Grasp the chain along the
bottom of the bar, pull down, and let go. Chain
should snap back to its original position, solidly
contacting the bottom of the bar.
