chain brake. Use the combination spanner. Then
retighten the bar nut as tightly as you can by hand.
• Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does
not sag from the underside of the bar.

while holding up the tip of the bar. Check that you can
pull the saw chain round freely by hand, and that there

saws varies from model to model. See instructions under
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your
