ASSEMBLY
Use Low Kickback Saw Chains - The rakers (depth
gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force
of a kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from
digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only
use replacement chain that is equivalent to original
chain or has been certified as low kickback chain
per ANSI B175.1.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life,
they lose some of the low kickback qualities and extra
caution should be used.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Place the saw on a flat, firm surface.
3. Remove the drive cover
by removing the guide
bar nut using the adjust-
ment tool.
4. Loosen the chain by turn-
ing the chain tensioning
screw counterclockwise
with the adjustment tool.
5. Pull the guide bar off of the guide bar bolts and
unloop the chain from the drive hub. CAUTION!
Saw Chain is sharp.
6. Remove the chain from the guide bar groove.
CAUTION! Saw Chain is sharp. Inspect guide bar
for cracks or wear; replace if damaged.
7. Wrap the new or sharpened chain around the guide
bar in the direction indicated on the saw
When replacing dull chains with sharp chains it is
good practice to flip the guide bar from bottom to top.
