Adjusting Chain Tension (Fig. A, E )
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is notrunning.
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure that battery is removed
from the tool before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personalinjury.
1. With the saw on a flat, firm surface, check the saw chain
5
tension. The tension is correct when the chain snaps
back after being pulled 1/8" (3mm) away from the
guide bar
4
with light force from the index finger and
thumb as shown in FigureE. There should be no “sag”
between the guide bar and the chain on the underside
as shown in FigureE.
2. To adjust saw chain tension, flip up locking tab and
rotate the bar adjust locking knob
8
counterclockwise
one full turn. Rotate the chain tensioning knob
9
clockwise until the chain tension is correct as
instructedabove.
3. Do not over-tension the chain as this will lead to
excessive wear and will reduce the life of the bar
andchain.
4. Once chain tension is correct, securely tighten bar adjust
lockingknob.
NOTE: The bar adjust locking knob has a detent tightening
system. The sprocket cover is secure after three audible
clicks are heard. Further tigtening is notrequired.
5. When the chain is new, check the tension frequently
(after removing battery) during the first 2 hours of use as
a new chain stretchesslightly.
