Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chains

stretch during use. This is especially true

during the first few times you use your saw.

Always check chain tension each time you

use and refuel your saw.

An adjusting screw (located on the guide

bar) is used to adjust the tension of the chain

(see illustration).

solidly contacts bottom of guide bar rail.
