Open the box and install the guide bar and saw chain on the power unit as follows:

The saw chain is very sharp. Use chainsaw protective gloves for safety.

1. Pull the chain brake lever towards the front handle to check that the

chain brake is off.

2. Loosen the nuts and remove the chain cover.

3 . Fit the guide bar over the bar bolts.

4. Fit the saw chain to the drive sprocket and while fitting the saw chain around

the guide bar, adjust the position of the chain tensioner located in the

side cover to fit into the tension adjustment hole in the guide bar.

5. Fit the chain cover to the power unit and fasten the nuts finger tight.

While holding up the tip of the guide bar, adjust the chain tension by turning

the tensioner screw until the chain does not sag from the underside of the

guide bar.

7. Tighten the bar nuts securely to 12/15N.M with the bar held upwards, then

check the chain for smooth rotation and proper tension by rotating the

chain by hand in a clockwise direction when viewed from the chain

cover side.

A new chain will expand in length at the beginning of use.

Check and readjust the tension frequently, as a loose saw chain

can easily derail or cause rapid wear to itself and the guide bar and sprocket.

It is important to maintain the proper chain tension. Rapid wear of the guide bar or the saw chain becoming

derailed can be caused by improper tension, especially when using a new saw chain.
