Assembling The New Bar
and Chain
1. Remove the battery, allow the saw
to cool and tighten the oil tank cap.
2. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on
a flat surface and straighten any
kinks (Fig. 24).
3. 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. 25).
4. Hold the chain in position on the
guide bar and place the loop around
the sprocket of the power head.
NOTICE:
Small directional arrows are
engraved in the saw chain (Fig. 26a).
Another directional arrow is molded into
the housing (Fig. 26a). When looping
the saw chain onto the sprocket, make sure that the direction of the arrows on the
saw chain will correspond to the direction of the arrow on the housing. If they face in
opposite directions, turn over the saw chain and guide bar assembly (Fig. 26b.)
