stops and the saw chain is loose.

service life.

11.3 Tensioning the Saw Chain

WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe personal injury from chain
derailment, check chain tension frequently, @ 6.6. At
operating temperatures, the chain stretches and sags. New
saw chain tends to stretch more than used chain. Tension
the saw chain so that the drive links cannot come out of the
groove on the underside of the guide bar.
To properly tension the saw chain:
► Switch off the chain saw, @ 14.2.
► Engage the chain brake, @ 12.1.
► Disconnect the chain saw from the power supply.
► Disengage the chain brake, @ 12.2.
