Assembling the New Bar and
Chain
1. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on
a flat surface and straighten any
kinks (Fig. 10).
2. 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. 11).
3. Hold the chain in position on the
guide bar and place the loop around
the sprocket of the pole saw.
NOTICE:
Small directional arrows are
engraved in the saw chain. Another
directional arrow is molded into the tool
body (Fig. 12). When looping the saw
chain onto the sprocket, make sure that
the direction of the arrows on the saw
chain matches the direction of the arrow
on the tool body. If they face in opposite
directions, turn over the saw chain and
guide bar assembly (Fig. 13).
4. Place the guide bar on the mounting
surface by sliding the guide-bar slot
over the alignment bulges, making
sure that the tension-adjusting pin
is inserted in the lower hole in the
tail of the bar (Fig. 12).
NOTICE:
If there is difficulty in inserting
the tension-adjusting pin into the hole,
adjust the chain-tensioning screw
properly until the tension-adjusting pin is
located exactly in the hole.
