INSTALL THE GUIDE BAR
1. Make sure the Chain Brake® lever is pulled back into
the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 21).
2. Remove the 2 bar retaining nuts (B) at front of the
Chain Brake® cover (C). Remove outer guide bar
plate (M, Fig. 27) by pulling straight out (Fig. 22).
3. Place the slotted end of the guide bar over the 2 bar
bolts (D). Fig. 23
INSTALL THE SAW CHAIN
1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (E)
pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 24).
2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (F) behind the
clutch (G). Make sure the links fit between the
sprocket teeth (Fig. 25).
3. Guide the drive links into the groove (H) and around
the end of the bar (Fig. 25).
4. The chain will be tight so you will have to rotate the
clutch clockwise by hand so the chain engages the
bar sprocket.
5. Replace the outer guide bar plate (I) so the bent
edges (top and bottom) are directed away from the
chain (Fig. 27).
6. Install spike on Chain Brake® cover as shown in
Fig. 27 (Optional accessory).
7. Install the Chain Brake® cover (Fig. 27). Make sure
the chain does not slip off of the bar. Install the 2
nuts hand tight and follow instructions in
Saw Chain
Tension Adjustment.
NOTE: The guide bar retaining nuts are installed only
hand tight at this point because saw chain
adjustment is required. Follow instructions in
Saw Chain Tension Adjustment.
Always use
protective gloves
when handling the saw chain.
WARNING:
To ensure the bar and
chain receive oil, ONLY
USE THE ORIGINAL STYLE BAR with the oil
passage hole (A) as illustrated in Fig. 21.
