Adjust the chain tension until the gap
between the drive teeth and bar is
between 3 and 4 mm. To increase the
chain tension, turn the chain tensioning
screw clockwise. To reduce the chain
tension, turn the chain tensioning
screw counterclockwise.
NOTE:
Frequently check the chain
tension while turning the chain
tensioning screw.
Tighten the sprocket cover screw.
NOTE:
The temperature of the chain
increases during normal operation,
causing the chain to stretch. Check the
chain tension frequently and adjust as
required. A chain that is tensioned while
warm may be too tight upon cooling.
Make sure that the chain tension is
correctly adjusted as specified in these
instructions.
Remove the cap from the oil tank. Pour
the oil into the oil tank, and monitor
the oil level gauge. Ensure that no dirt
enters the oil tank while filling.
NOTE:
Use only RYOBI chainsaw
lubricating oil from an authorised
service centre.
