SAW CHAIN TENSION

WARNING: Remove battery from

chain saw before adjusting saw chain

tension.

Severe injury or death

could occur from body contact with

moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

WARNING: Maintain proper

chain tension always. A loose chain

will increase the risk of kickback. A

loose chain may jump out of guide

bar groove. This may injure op-

erator and damage chain. A loose

chain will cause chain, guide bar,
