WARNING

Always wear gloves when handling saw chain, otherwise serious
personal injury may result.

To Adjust Saw Chain Tension.

1. Loosen two (2) 6 mm guide bar nuts (A) located on cutting attach-

ment.

2. Turn the adjuster slot (B) clockwise until saw chain touches the

bottom of guide bar. Turning adjuster slot (B) counter clockwise will
loosen saw chain on guide bar.

3. Tighten guide bar nuts firmly. Move saw chain backwards on guide

bar by hand. Saw chain should move freely on guide bar if it is in
proper mesh with sprocket. If saw chain is difficult to rotate or binds
on guide bar, it is too tight.

Keep the saw chain lubricated and properly adjusted and the guide bar
nuts tightened firmly at all times.
