Note: A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there
is no slack on the underside of the guide bar, the
FI
HU CS

chain is snug, and it can be turned by hand without
FI

binding.

Re-tension the chain whenever the flats on the drive

links hang out of the bar groove. (Figures 3)
Note: During normal saw operation, the temperature
FI
HU CS

of the chain increases. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1.2mm
FI
HU CS
RU RO
out of the bar groove. The tip of the combination
wrench can be used as a guide to help determine the
FI
HU CS
RU RO
correct warm chain tension.
Note: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain
FI
HU CS

tension frequently and tension as required.This is the
FI
HU CS

same for a NEW tool.
Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag.

(Figures 43)
Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the chain
■
tensioning dial clockwise. Repeat this process until
sag does not exist.
Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the

clutch cover lock knob securely. The chain is correctly
tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of
the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be turned
by hand without binding. Ensure that the chain brake
is not set.
Note: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the
clutch cover lock knob by pressing in and slightly rotating
counter clockwise, then rotate the chain tensioning dial
counter clockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the clutch cover lock knob securely. Ensure that
the chain will rotate without binding.
