Adjusting the chain tension
The correct tension of the saw chain is extremely important and must be checked
before starting and periodically during all sawing work. If you take time to adjust the
saw chain correctly, you will be able to make better cuts and the life of the chain will be
prolonged.

Undo the bar fastening wheel (Fig. 9/pos. 18) by 1/2 of a turn COUNTERCLOCK-
WISE.
•
Hold the tip of the chain bar upwards and turn the chain tensioning wheel (Fig. 9/pos.
3) IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION in order to increase the chain tension. If you turn
the chain tensioning wheel IN A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION, the chain
tension will be reduced. Check that the chain is seated around the entire chain bar
(Fig. 4/pos. X3).
•
After making the adjustment and with the tip of the bar still upwards, tighten the bar
fastening wheel (Fig. 9/pos. 18). The chain is correctly tensioned when it is closely
seated and can be pulled right around by hand, when the chain brake (5) is released.

but is still closely seated (Fig. 4/pos. X2). Increase the tension by turning the chain
tensioning wheel
IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION
