Use and Care Manual

3. Remove the cutting bar and chain from the mounting

surface (Fig. 5).

4. Remove the old chain from the bar.

5. 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. 6).

6. 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

(Figs. 7 & 8).

NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain .

If the chain is mounted backwards, the saw will vibrate

abnormally and will not cut.

7. Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop

around the sprocket. Fit the bar ush against the mounting

surface so that the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar

and the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole

(Fig. 9).
