2. Remove the cutting bar and chain from the mounting
surface (Fig. 12).
3. Remove the old chain from the bar.
4. Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten
any kinks. THE SHARP SIDE OF THE TEETH MUST
FACE AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF THE
CHAIN ROTATION INDICATED ON THE GUIDE BAR
. If the teeth face backwards, turn
the loop over (Fig. 13).
5. Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the
bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The chain
will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket
(Fig. 14).
NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain. If the
chain is mounted backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally
and will not cut.
6. Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop
around the sprocket. Fit the bar against the mounting
surface so that the extruded piece on the mounting surface
is in the long slot of the bar and the adjusting pin is in the
chain tension pin hole (Fig. 15).
7. While keeping the bar and chain against the mounting
surface, adjust the chain tension as needed by adjusting
the chain tensioner screw with the supplied hex key wrench.
Turn the chain tensioner screw clockwise to tighten the
chain, or counter-clockwise to loosen the chain (Fig. 4).
8. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by inserting the tab
located on the bottom first into the slot and position the
cover over the bar end. Tighten the end cover knob; leave
the bar loose enough to move slightly for tension adjustment
(Fig. 16).
