SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to
vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swellings.
Prolonged use in cold weather has been
linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise
healthy people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in
skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the
fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use
of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti-vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who
operate power tools on a continual and
regular basis must monitor closely their
physical condition and the condition of this
tool.
ASSEMBLY
Protective gloves (not provided) should be
worn during assembly.

3. An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad-
just the tension of the chain. It is very im-
portant when assembling the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment before you
begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See
illustration below.
