until the tension adjusting pin is inserted in the lower
hole in the tail of the bar (Fig. L1).
NOTICE:
Small directional arrows are engraved in the
saw chain. Another directional arrow is molded into the
housing. When looping the saw chain onto the sprocket,
make sure that the direction of the arrows on the saw
chain will correspond to the direction of the arrow on the
housing. If they face in opposite directions, turn over the
saw chain and guide bar assembly (Fig. L2).
7. Replace the side cover and slightly tighten the side
cover knob.
8. Lift the tip of the guide bar up to check for sag
(Fig. K). Release the tip of the guide bar and turn the
chain tensioning knob clockwise. Repeat this process
until the sag is eliminated.
9. Tighten the side cover knob securely to ensure that
the saw chain is properly tensioned before using.

NOTICE:
To extend the guide bar life, invert the bar
occasionally.
NOTICE:
If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen
the side cover knob slightly and turn the tensioning knob
once from right to left. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and
retighten the side cover knob securely. Assure that the
chain will rotate without binding.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
◾
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack before
adjusting the chain tension. Make sure the side
cover knob is loosened. Turn the chain tensioning
knob clockwise to tension the chain. See the section:
"REPLACE THE BAR AND CHAIN" for additional
information.
◾
A cold chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack
on the underside of the guide bar and the chain is snug, but
it can be turned by hand without binding. The chain must
be re-tensioned whenever the flats on the drive links do not
sit in the bar groove.
◾
During normal saw operation, the temperature of
the chain will increase. The drive links of a correctly
tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1.3 mm
out of the bar groove (Fig. M).
