Pull the chain taut. Then place the mounting head of the tool on any roller of the chain and rest the indicator tip lightly along the taut chain.

The indicator tip will rest between links and show red or green depending on the degree of elongation. If it drops and still shows green, then there’s no measurable elongation. If it drops and does not show any green, then the chain needs to be replaced.
