Place the saw on a stable surface and perform the following
work steps in order to install the guide bar and saw chain:
Release the chain brake by pulling the hand guard (

direction of arrow.
Fold up the sprocket guard quick tensioner (

illustration on tensioning the saw chain).
Push the sprocket guard quick tensioner in forcefully against
the spring tension and slowly turn
counter-clockwise
, until
you feel it engage. Keep pushing, and turn as far as possible
counter-clockwise.
Release the sprocket guard quick tensioner again and turn
clockwise
to bring it back to its original position. Repeat
this procedure until the sprocket guard (

) is unscrewed.
Remove the sprocket guard (

Lift the chain (

CAUTION:
Do not insert the chain
between the chain sprocket and
the disc.
Guide the chain from above about halfway into the groove

CAUTION:
Note that the cutting edges along the top of the chain must
point in the direction of the arrow!
Put the guide bar (
