Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain 

tensioner screw clockwise until the chain seats snugly 

against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove  

(Fig.

).

NOTE: 

The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no 

sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, 

but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more 

information on chain tensioning, see the maintenance 

section beginning on pg. 16.

10. 

Tighten the end cover nut using the hex key wrench.

NOTE: 

If the chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the 

end cover nut slightly and turn the chain tensioner 1/4 turn 

counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and retighten 

the end cover nut. Ensure that the chain can be rotated by 

hand without binding.

NOTE: 

A new chain tends to stretch; check the chain tension 

frequently, and adjust tension as required.
