6. Installing guide bar and saw chain
A standard saw unit package contains the items
as illustrated. (F6-1)
(1) Power unit
(2) Guide bar
(3) Saw chain
(4) Plug wrench
Open the box and install the guide bar and the saw
chain on the power unit as follows :
SAFE-T-TIP nose guard (F6-2) (F6-3)
• Mount the SAFE-T-TIP on the bar nose.

• From the snug position, tighten the screw an
additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
(1) Mounting screw
(2) SAFE-T-TIP
(3) TIGHTEN 3/4 OF A TURN
WARNING
Although the guide bar comes with a SAFE-T-TIP
anti-kickback device already installed, check the
tightness of the mounting screw before each use.
NOTE
Do not replace the screw with an ordinary screw. Use
only identical replacement parts from the manufacturer
when replacing parts.
In addition to preventing chain contact with solid
objects at the nose of the bar, the SAFE-T-TIP also
helps keep the chain away from abrasive surfaces,
such as the ground. Keep it on the right hand side of
the bar where it will be between the chain and the
ground during flush-with-ground cutting.
The mounting screw requires a 5/16 in. wrench (or
adjustable wrench) to achieve the recommended
torque of 35 to 45 in.lb. A torque within this range can
be achieved by using the following method.
WARNING
The saw chain has very sharp edges. Use thick
protective gloves for safety.
