into the hole (1) in the guide bar.

Figure 2.
While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the chain tension by turning the
tensioner screw until the chain does not sag from the underside of the guide bar.
9.
Tighten the bar nuts securely with the bar held up to 12/15N.M, then check the chain
for smooth rotation and proper tension while moving the chain by hand.
Note: A new chain will expand in length at the beginning of use. Check and readjust
the tension frequently, as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear to itself
and the guide bar.
