To install saw chain
1
Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (A)
pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 9).
2
Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind the
clutch (C). Make sure the links fit between the
sprocket teeth (Fig. 10).
3
Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and
around the end of the bar (Fig. 10).
Note: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part
of bar. This is normal.
4
Pull the chain bar forward until the chain is closely
seated. Make sure that all the drive links are in the
groove of the bar.
5
Fit the clutch cover and fasten it with 2 screws.
Make sure that the pivot (Fig. 7/Item E) fits into
the chain bar (Fig. 8/Item G). The chain must
not slip off the bar when you do this. Tighten the
two nuts by hand and then follow the instructions
for adjusting the tension in ADJUSTING THE
CHAIN TENSION.
Saw chain tension adjustment
Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important
and must be checked before starting, as well as
during any cutting operation.
Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the
saw chain will result in improved cutting performance
and prolonged chain life.
Warning: Always wear heavy duty gloves when handling saw
chain or making saw chain adjustments.
1
Before adjusting the chain tension screw you must
slacken the 2x retaining nuts. Otherwise this will
damage tension screw.
2
Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment
screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension.
Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease
amount of tension on chain. Ensure the chain fits
snugly all the way around the guide bar (Fig. 11).
