Replace the chain
i. Remove the clamp knob (6) and the chain cover
ii. Fit the chain around the bar ensuring that the direction of the
chain is as depicted in the picture on the bar. Fit the chain on the
sprocket.
iii. Adjust the tension to ensure that there is not too much slack in
the chain. Pay attention to the correct direction of the saw chain.
iv. Fit the chain cover to the power unit. While lifting the tip of guide
bar, tighten the bar knob securely (clockwise). Hand tighten only!
NOTE! A new chain will expand its length during the first period of
use. Check and re-adjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can
easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the chain bar. If the saw
chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TAUT,
the Vdrive wheel, the chain bar, the chain and the crank shaft
bearing will suffer premature wear.
