2.  Remove the cutting bar and chain from the mounting 

surface (Fig. 3).

3.  Remove the old chain from the bar.
4.  Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten 

any kinks. THE SHARP SIDE OF THE TEETH MUST 

FACE AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF THE 

CHAIN ROTATION INDICATED ON THE GUIDE BAR 

. If the teeth face backwards, 

turn the loop over (Fig. 4).

5.  Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the  

bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The 

chain will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket 

(Figs. 5 & 6).

  NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain 

.If the chain is mounted 

backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and will not cut.

6.  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 

and the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole  

(Fig. 

7

). 

7.  Adjust the chain tension as needed by adjusting the chain 

tensioner screw with the supplied M5 hex key wrench. 

Make sure to align the chain tensioner screw with the  

pin hole (Fig. 8).

8.  Replace the chain/sprocket end cover. Tighten the end 

cover nut, but leave the bar free to move for tension 

adjustment.
