CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Assembling the New Bar and Chain
a. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool, then
tighten the oil-tank cap.
b. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on a flat
surface and straighten any kinks. The cutters
should face in the direction of chain rotation, if
they face backwards, turn the loop over
(Fig. 11b & 11e).
c. Place the chain-drive links into the guide-bar
groove. Position the chain so there is a loop at
the back of the guide bar (Fig. 11d).
d. Place the loop around the sprocket.
NOTICE: Small directional arrows are engraved in
the saw chain. Another directional arrow is molded
into the saw housing. When looping the saw chain
onto the sprocket, make sure that the direction of
the arrows on the saw chain match the rotation
direction arrow on the housing. If they face in
opposite directions, turn over the saw chain and
guide bar assembly.
e. Lift the kickback guard. Place the guide bar on
the mounting surface by sliding the guide-bar
slot over the screw, with the guide-bar end
against the tensioning end-piece (Fig. 11e).
