ASSEMBLY

Move the lever to its rear, lower position. Push in the 
spring on the chain tensioner handle and turn the bar nut 
clockwise by hand. 

Release the spring.  Hold the bar upwards as you move 
the handle forward. Note that the arm's mechanical stop 
shall not be reached. The stop prevents the arm from 
pointing forwards and prevents cutting.
