SAW CHAIN TENSION
ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Unplug Pole Saw from
power source before adjusting saw chain
tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves when
handling chain.
WARNING: Maintain proper chain
tension always. A loose chain will in-
crease the risk of kickback. A loose
chain may jump out of guide bar groove.
This may injure operator and damage
chain. A loose chain will cause chain,
guide bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
Note: For pre-assembled models, the saw chain ten-
sion is properly set at factory. A new chain will
stretch. Check new chain after first few minutes of
operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps
below to readjust saw chain tension.
1. Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nut
is only finger tight (see Figure 5).
