Assembly
WARNING! The chainsaw has very sharp edges. Use thick protective gloves for safety.
Open the box and install the guide bar and the chainsaw on the power unit as follows:
1. Pull the chainbrake handle toward the rear of the saw (or pull in the direction that would be toward the rear of
the saw if the chainbrake was installed onto the saw).
2. Loosen the nuts and remove the chain brake cover assembly unit..
3. Install the
“
dog spikes
”
to the power unit (Models greater than 45cc only).
4. Gear the chain to the sprocket and, while fitting the chain around the guide bar, mount the guide bar to the
power unit. Adjust the position of the chain tensioner.
5. Fit the chain brake cover assembly unit to the power unit, ensuring that the pin for the chain tensioner goes
through the correct hole on the bar. Put the side bolts
on “finger
tight
”
only, do not tighten at this stage.
NOTE! Cutting chains are directional, ensure you have installed the chain right way round (A)
6. While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the chain tension by turning the tensioner screw until the tie straps
just touch the bottom side of the bar rail (B).
7. Tighten the nuts securely with the bar tip held up (12-15 N.m.). Then check the chain for smooth rotation and
proper tension while moving it by hand. If necessary, readjust with the chain cover loose.
IMPORTANT! A new chain will stretch when first used. Check and readjust the
tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail and cause rapid wear of
itself and the guide bar.
