INSTALLING/REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN
•
Remove the bar and chain from the mounting surface.
•
Remove the old chain from the bar.
•
Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any links.
The cutters should face in the direction of the chain rotation.
If they face backwards, turn the loop over.
•
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain.
•
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.
•
Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop
around the sprocket.
•
Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the bar
studs are in the long slot of the bar.
NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure that
the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.
•
Using the combo
screwdriver / hex
wrench provided,
remove all slack
from the chain by
turning the chain
tensioning bolt
clockwise until the
chain seats snugly
against the bar with
the drive links in the
bar groove.
•
Replace the chain cover and secure with the lock knob.
The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be
turned by hand without binding.
NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Turn the chain
tensioning bolt counterclockwise approximately 1/4 turn to
loosen the chain. Ensure that the chain will rotate without
binding.
NOTE: A new chain tends to stretch, check chain tension
frequently and tension as required.
