Replacement Part List

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. 4).

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

(Figs. 5 & 6).

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. 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. 7).

7. Adjust the chain tension as needed by adjusting the

chain tensioner screw with the supplied at-tip blade

screwdriver. Make sure to align the chain tensioner screw

with the pin hole (Fig. 8).

8. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover. Tighten the end

cover nut, but leave the bar free to move for tension

adjustment.
