REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN

1.  Remove the battery pack.
2.  Loosen the sprocket cover screw. 

Remove the screw, sprocket cover, and 

bar and chain assembly.

3.  Install the new chain on the bar.

Insert the chain drive links into the bar 

groove. Position the chain so that there is 

a loop at the back of the bar.

NOTE:

 The saw chain should face in the 

direction of chain rotation. If the saw chain 

faces backwards, turn the loop over.
Hold the chain in position on the bar, and 

place the loop around the drive sprocket. 

Lower the bar and place it flush against  

the mounting surface.

4.  Reinstall the sprocket cover, and screw.

5.  Adjust the chain tension until the gap 

between the

 drive teeth and bar is 

between 2.5 and 3.5 mm.
To increase the chain tension, turn the 

chain tensioning screw clockwise.
To reduce the chain tension, turn the 

chain tensioning screw counterclockwise.

NOTE:

 Frequently check the chain 

tension while turning the chain tensioning 

screw.
