ASSEMBLING BAR AND CHAIN
See Figures 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29.
WARNING:
The safety instructions in this section are to
protect the user from serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw and
make sure the chain has stopped before you do
any work on the saw.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves when handling the bar and
chain; these components are sharp and may
contain burrs.
1. Remove the battery pack before you do any work
on the chain saw.
2. Remove the hex key from the storage area and use
it to remove the chain cover screw, washer and
chain cover from the chain saw.
3. Remove the bar and chain from the mounting
surface.
4. Remove the old chain from the bar.
5. Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten
any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction
of chain rotation. If they face the opposite direction,
turn the loop over.
6. Place the chain drive links into the bar groove.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of
the bar. Hold the chain in position on the bar and
place the loop around the sprocket of the chain
saw. Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface
so that the bar stud is in the long slot of the bar.
NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar stud,
assure that the adjusting pin is in the chain tension
pin hole.
