7. If chain is too loose, it will sag below the

guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if

the chain is loose.

NOTE: The chai n is tensio ned correctly

when the weight of the chain does not cause it

to sag below the guide bar (with the chain saw

sitting in an upright position), but the chain still

moves freely around the guide bar .

WARNING: If the saw is operated

with a loose chain, the chain could jump off the

guide bar and result in serious injury to the op-

erator and/or damage the chain making it un-

usable. If the chain jumps of f the guide bar, in-

spect each drive link for damage. Damaged

chain must be repaired or replaced.
