HOW TO REPLACE

OREGON

POWER MATCH BAR NOSES

Select a new Power Match

nose with

the correct pitch for your bar and chain.

Reduced-kickback Double Guard

replace-

ment noses can be installed on any Power

Match

bar and can be used with the same

drive-link-count loop of chain.

1. Each Oregon

Power

Match bar nose is

marked, on one

side only, with an “X.”

Always strike on the

“X”-stamped side of

Power Match

bar noses. Striking

on the wrong side will damage the nose and bar

body. Use a punch that will fit through the nose-rivet

hole as shown to drive out the single attaching rivet.

2. Remove the old nose.

Clean the bar’s attach-

ment area.

3. Insert the new nose into

the bar body. Insert the

Power Match

rivet (part

no. 34726) through the

underside of the nose,

opposite the “X” mark.

The rivet will not fit, and cannot be secured,

if inserted through the “X” side.

NOTE

"X" Side Up
