9. With one gloved hand, check the chain for smooth rotation and proper tension. Grasp the chain along
the top center of the chain saw blade as shown in the picture below and lift to check the tension. When
released, the chain must quickly snap back into position.
10. If the chain is too loose or too tight, loosen the nuts before adjusting the chain tensioner. Failure to loosen
the nuts will damage the tensioner and void your warranty.
ATTENTION: A new chain will stretch when first used. Check the chain tension regularly with a
gloved hand. A loose chain can derail and wear away, as well as wear away the sword. If the chain
has to be tightened, always make sure the nuts are loosened before adjusting the chain tensioner.
ADJUST THE CHAIN USING THE CHAIN TENSIONER
ATTENTION
• Always wear safety gloves when touching the sharp side of the chain.
• Always disconnect the "spark plug wire" before touching the sharp end of the chain.
• You should check the tension of a new chain within 5 minutes of using it. For an old chain, check
the tension every 15 minutes of use.
• Always loosen the side nuts before adjusting the chain tensioner.
