Replacing the Saw Chain
IMPORTANT
: Do not clamp down the chainsaw in a vise to replace the saw chain or guide bar.
Replace the chain when the cutters are too worn out to sharpen or when the chain breaks. Only use a chain that
is approved by the manufacturer. Always include a new drive sprocket when replacing the chain. This will
maintain proper driving of the chain.
Refer to the image above while completing the following steps:
1. Loosen and remove the guide bar screw.
2. Remove the sprocket cover.
3. Remove the saw chain.
4. Place the new chain around the drive sprocket, which is along the top groove of the guide bar, and around
the guide bar nose.
NOTE
: Make sure that the cutting edges of the chain are facing in the right direction.
Position the chain so that the cutting edges on top of the guide bar face the guide bar nose (see image
below and the indicator on the side the cover of the saw).
