with chain already installed)

WARNING: W ear protective gloves

when handling chain. The chain is sharp and

can cut you even when it is not moving.

NOTE: When adjusting chain tension,

make sure the bar knob is finger tight only.

Attempting to tension the chain when the bar

knob is tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use a screwdriver to move chain around

guide bar . If the chain does not rotate, it is too

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

the bar.
