Place chain onto the sprocket

7. Place chain over and behind clutch, fitting

the drive links in the clutch drum sprocket.

8. Fit bottom of drive links between the

teeth in the sprocket in the nose of the
guide bar.

9. Fit chain drive links into bar groove.
10. Pull guide bar forward until chain is snug

in guide bar groove.

Ensure all drive

links are in the bar groove.

11. Now, install chain brake making sure the

adjusting pin is positioned in the lower
hole in the guide bar. Remember this pin
moves the bar forward and backward as
the screw is turned.

12. Install chain brake nuts and finger tighten

only. Once the chain is tensioned, you
will need to tighten chain brake nuts.

CHAIN TENSION (Including units

with chain already installed)

NOTE

When adjusting chain tension, make

sure the chain brake nuts are finger tight only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the chain
brake nuts are tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the
bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important.

Chain

stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw. You can adjust the
chain tension by loosening the chain brake
nuts and turning the adjusting screw 1/4 of a
turn while lifting up on the bar.

S

If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.

S

If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw
1/4 turn clockwise.

WARNING

If the saw is operated

with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.

WARNING

Muffler is very hot during

and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-
low combustible material such as dry grass
or fuel to do so.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING

Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration of the bar.
Only use Bar and Chain Oil for bar and chain
lubrication.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING

Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
mixed with a good quality 2-cycle air-cooled
