/ CUTTERS EDGE VENTILATION SAWS
NOTE
If you are upgrading your saw with a D-S Kit:
Before proceeding you will first need to remove
the chain tension adjusting screw and replace it
with the alien head adjusting screw supplied with
your D-8.
You will also need to remove and replace the old
guard/deflector with the new guard/deflector sup-
plied with your D-8.
Prepare Your Saw
To begin installation of your D-8, remove the chain brake
cover, guide bar and chain according to the instructions in
your Cutters Edge Ventilation Saw Operations and Main-
tenance Manual.
The Slotted Guide Bar
Adjust the chain tensioning screw fully back, then slide the
new, slotted guide bar into position, aligning the chain
tensioner with the adjusting hole in the bar.
The Chain
First make sure that the chain cutters are pointing toward
the tip of the guide bar as they lay on the top of the bar. Slip
the chain into the grooves of the guide bar, again verifying
that the top cutters point toward the tip of the bar.
Pull the chain around the bar to be sure the drive links are
properly seated in the drive sprocket.
NOTE
At this point you need not worry about tensioning
the chain, as it is easy to do so after the D-8 is
installed.
Now replace the outer bar plate.
Replace the clutch cover.
The D-8 Inner-Section
Place the inner section of the D-8 over the chain and guide
bar, sliding the holes in the D-8 onto the bar mount bolts.
Snugly tighten the bar nuts.
Now align the holes in the flange of the D-8 with the holes
in the saw's guard/deflector. Carefully insert and tighten
the alien-head bolts with the special ball-driver included
with your D-8.
Fig. 1. Use the ball-driver to tighten the alien-head bolts.
Insert the guide bar standoffs between the bar and the
insides of the D-8. The standoffs will pop into the holes in
the D-8 and the guide bar.

The D-8 Outer Section
Place the D-8 outer section onto the bar.
WARNING
To avoid damaging the chain or the D-8, be careful
to slip the spacers that are inside the nose of the
D-8 outer section between two chain cutters.
