Note: For pre-assembled models, the saw chain 
tension is properly set at factory. A new chain will 
stretch. Check new chain after fi rst few minutes of 
operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps 
below to readjust saw chain tension.
1.  Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nuts 

are only finger tight (see Figure 2, page 8). Also 
make sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole 
on guide bar (see Figures 2 and 3, page 8).

2.  Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is 

out of chain (see Figure 4). 

Note: There should 

be no gap between side links of chain and bottom 
of guide bar (see Figure 5).

3.  Wearing protective gloves, move chain around 

guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain 
does not move freely, loosen chain by turning 
adjusting screw counterclockwise.

4.  After chain tension is correct, tighten guide 

bar nuts firmly. If not, guide bar will move and 
loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk 
of kickback. This can also damage saw. 

Note: 

A new chain will stretch. Check new chain after 
first few minutes of operation. Allow chain to 
cool down. Readjust chain tension.
