If received assembled, repeat all steps to ensure
your saw is properly assembled and all fasteners
are secure.
1. Check that the chain brake is in the unlocked
position by pulling the front hand guard towards
the front handle.
2. Loosen and remove the bar nuts and the clutch
cover from the saw.
3. Remove the plastic shipping spacer (A) if
present.
4. An adjusting pin and screw is used to adjust
the tension of the chain. It is very important
when assembling the bar that the adjusting pin
located on the adjusting screw aligns into a
hole in the bar. Turning the screw will move the
adjusting pin up and down the screw. Locate
this adjusting pin before you begin mounting
the bar onto the saw. See following illustration.
5. Turn the adjusting screw by hand
counterclockwise until the adjusting pin is
positioned between the indicator marks (B) on
the clutch cover. This should allow the
adjusting pin to be near the correct position.
6. Slide guide bar with chain on bar bolts until
guide bar stops against clutch drum sprocket.
Cutters must face in the direction of rotation.
