7.2 Tensioning the saw chain
Caution:
Always disconnect the mains plug before performing any checks or adjustments.
Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to protect yourself against
injury.
• Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover a few turns (Fig. 2).
• Adjust the chain tension with the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 8). Turning the screw
clockwise increases the tension, turning it counterclockwise decreases the chain tension. The
saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be lifted around 3-4 mm in the middle of the cutter
rail (Fig. 9).
