Bar bolts

CRANKCASE AND CRANKSHAFT

When changing the bar bolts on all saws
except 40 and 45 proceed as follows:

1. Drain the chain oil.

2. Knock through the old bar bolt so that it

falls in the oil tank.

3. Remove the bolt from the oil tank.

4. Attach a steel wire to the end of the new

bar bolts, thread the wire through the oil
tank and out through the bolt hole in the
crankcase.

5. Pull the steel wire until the bolt comes

out through its hole.

6. Check that the bolt’s square shoulder is

aligned with its recess in the crankcase.
Turn the bolt if necessary.

7. Pull through the bolt with its nut and

spacer between the nut and crankcase.

8. Refill with chain oil.
