• After a short period of use, allow the chain
to cool, unplug the pole saw and check the
tension again. Watch tension carefully for
the first half-hour of use and periodically
throughout the life of the chain readjusting as
required when the chain and bar are cool to
the touch. Never tension chain when it is hot.
Chain will stretch as a result of normal use,
however, insufficient oil, aggressive use, or
failure to perform recommended maintenance
can lead to premature stretching.
