11.2 Chain tensioning and adjustment check
See fig 7
Note: if chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it binds, too much tension has been
applied. This requires minor adjustment as follows:
Loosen the bar retaining nuts so they are finger tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar
adjustment screw counter clockwise slowly. Move chain back and forth on bar. Continue to
adjust until chain rotates freely, but fits snugly. Increase tension by turning bar adjustment
screw clockwise.
When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of bar in the uppermost position and tighten
the 2 bar retaining nuts securely.
Caution: a new saw chain stretches, requiring adjustment after as few as 5
cuts. This is normal with a new chain, and the interval between future
adjustments will lengthen quickly.
Caution: if saw chain is too loose or too tight, the sprocket, bar, chain, and
crankshaft bearings will wear more rapidly. Study Fig. 12 for information
concerning correct cold tension (A), correct warm tension (B), and as a
guide for when saw chain needs adjustment (C).
