2. Remove the cutting bar and chain from the mounting
surface (Fig. 17).
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. 18).
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 t until it is placed on the sprocket
(Fig. 19).
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. Mount the guide bar by inserting the studs into the long
slot on the guide bar; arrange the chain loop on the back
of the bar to ensure the sprocket is inserted in the loop
(Fig. 20).
7. Adjust the chain tension by pulling the guide bar + chain
forward, and make sure the chain is fully stretched. Using
your other hand, Fit the sprocket/chain end cover back
on by inserting the studs into the holes on the sprocket/
chain end cover. Replace the end cover nuts and screw to
tighten. (Fig. 21).
8. Lift up the guide bar tip slightly. Use the other end
of the hex key wrench/blade screwdriver to turn the
chain adjusting screw clockwise to tighten, turn it
counterclockwise to loosen (Fig. 5).
