THE BAR PLATES
Remove the outer bar plate. Note that the two bar plates
are similar (Fig. 5) but that the inner bar plate is smaller and
has an additional slot that allows oil to reach the chain.

It is imperative that the inner plate with the oil
slot is installed properly or the flow of bar oil will
be blocked and damage to the saw and chain will
occur.
INSTALLING THE BAR AND CHAIN
Next, install the bar by first adjusting the chain tensioning
screw fully back
(using the scrench tool, turn the tensioning
screw counter clockwise to move the tensioner back
toward the clutch drum)
(Fig. 6). Slide the guide bar onto
the 2 bar studs, aligning the tensioner with the adjusting
hole in the bar.

INSTALLATION OF THE CHAIN
To install the chain, first align the chain so that the cutters
are pointing toward the tip of the bar as they lay on the top
of the bar. Slip the chain onto the clutch sprocket rim (Fig.
8). Then slip the chain into the groove of the guide bar,
again verifying that the top cutters point toward the tip of the
bar.
