Make sure the bar pad, drive sprocket,
and tensioning pin are free of debris.
• Adjust the tensioning screw as far back
toward the rear of the cutting head as it
will go.
• Place the guide bar on the bar pad by
sliding the bar slot over the alignment
flange (Fig. 8), making sure the
tensioning pin is inserted in the bottom
hole in the tail of the bar.
• Loop the saw chain onto the drive
sprocket so that the cutting edges of
the teeth along the top of the bar face
away from the cutting head (Fig. 9).
Feed the chain into the groove of the
bar and slide the bar away from the
motor to remove slack from the chain
(Fig. 10). Adjust the position of the
tensioning pin until it engages the hole
in the bar.

chain catch is properly seated in its hole,
then lightly tighten the side cover knob
(Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT:THE SAW CHAIN MUST
BE PROPERLY TENSIONED BEFORE
