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 inthe 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.

4. Turn the adjusting screw by hand coun-
terclockwise until the adjusting pin just
touches the stop. This should allow the
pin to be near the correct position.
5. Slide guide bar behind dutch drum until
guide bar stops against clutch drum
sprocket.
6. Carefully remove the chain from the pack-
age. Hold chain with the drive links as
shown.
Protective gloves (not provided) should be
worn during assembly.
ATTACHING THE BAR & CHAIN (If not
already attached)
WARNING: If received assembled,
repeat all steps to ensure your saw isproperly

ways wear gloves when handling the chain.
