Fitting the Chain
WARNING
Wear work gloves to protect your hands
from the sharp cutters.
N Fit the chain – start at the bar nose.
N Fit the guide bar over the screw (3)
and engage peg of tensioner slide in
the hole (4) – place the chain over
the sprocket (5) at the same time.
N Turn the tensioning screw (1)
counterclockwise until there is very
little chain sag on the underside of
the bar – and the drive link tangs are
engaged in the bar groove.
N Refit the sprocket cover and screw
on the nut fingertight.
N Go to chapter on "Tensioning the
Saw Chain".
Re-tensioning during cutting work:
N Shut off the engine.
N Loosen the nut.
N Hold the bar nose up.
N Use a screwdriver to turn the
tensioning screw (1)
counterclockwise until the chain fits
snugly against the underside of the
bar.
N While still holding the bar nose up,
tighten down the nut firmly.
N Go to "Checking Chain Tension".
A new chain has to be re-tensioned
more often than one that has been in
use for some time.
