CHAINSAW
Prior to assembly
Familiarize yourself with the chainsaw and its various components using above pictures as a guide. Under-
standing your machine helps to ensure top performance, longer service life and safer operation. Before you
start assembling the chainsaw, make sure you have all the required components and carefully inspect each
component for damage.
Assembling and disassembling the tubes
Assembling the tubes
1. Place the powerhead/lower tube-assembly and the upper tube-assembly on a clean and flat surface so that
both assemblies fit end to end. The powerhead/lower tube-assembly should be facing up, and the upper
tube-assembly should be positioned with the latch protector facing up.
WARNING! Always keep the open ends of the tubes clean and free of obstructions.
2. Loosen the coupler screw.
3. Depress the latch and insert the powerhead/lower tube-assembly into the coupler until it bottoms. Then
release the latch. Rock the upper tube-assembly back and forth until it locks in place. Fig. 32
4. When the two tube halves are locked together, slide the latch protector into the groove of the latch, then
tighten the coupler screw. Fig. 33
Disassembling the tubes
1. Place the machine on a clean and flat surface and loosen the coupler screw. Slide the latch protector out of
the groove of the latch.
2. Depress the latch. This will release the lock. Fig. 34
3. Pull the upper tube out of the coupler.
