note: The saw chain tension is properly set at 
the factory. A new chain will stretch. Check 
new chain tension frequently (after discon-
necting battery) during the first 2 hours of 
operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow 
steps below to check saw chain tension.
1.  Remove battery from chain saw.
2.  Place chain saw on a firm surface to 
check chain tension.
SAw CHAIN TENSION
wARNING: Remove battery from
chain saw before adjusting saw chain
tension.  Severe  injury  or  death
could occur from body contact with
moving chain.
 wARNING:  Cutting  edges  on
chain  are  sharp.  Use  protective
gloves when handling chain.
 wARNING:    Maintain  proper
chain tension always. A loose chain
will increase the risk of kickback. A
loose chain may jump out of guide
bar  groove.  This  may  injure  op-
erator and damage chain. A loose
chain will cause chain, guide bar,
and sprocket to wear rapidly.

chain  and  bottom  of  guide  bar  is 
acceptable.
