8. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by positioning the cover
onto the saw head. Tighten the end cover knob, but leave the
bar free to move for tension adjustment. Put back the hex bolt
by screwing it clockwise with the hex key wrench.
9. Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner ring clockwise until the chain seats snugly against
the bar with the drive links in the bar groove (Fig. 11).
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.
