Disassembling the Worn Bar
and Chain
1. Remove the battery. Allow the saw
to cool, then tighten the oil-tank cap
to prevent oil from spilling.
2. Position the chain saw on its side on
a firm, flat surface, so that the side
cover is facing upwards (Fig. 24).
3. Wear gloves. Lift up the semicircular
tab. Grasp the tab and turn the side-cover knob counterclockwise until the side
cover can be removed (Fig. 24). Clean the side cover with a dry cloth.
4. Turn the chain-tensioning knob counterclockwise (Fig. 24). Remove the bar and
chain from the mounting surface. Remove the worn chain from the bar.
NOTICE:
This is a good time to inspect the drive sprocket for excessive wear or damage.
Assembling The New Bar
and Chain
1. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on
a flat surface and straighten any
kinks (Fig. 25).
2. Place the chain drive links into the
guide bar groove. Position the chain
so there is a loop at the back of the
guide bar (Fig. 26).
3. Hold the chain in position on the
guide bar and place the loop around
the sprocket of the power head.
