3.  Remove the old chain from the bar.
4.  Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten 

any kinks. THE SHARP SIDE OF THE TEETH MUST 

FACE AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DIRECTION OF THE 

CHAIN ROTATION INDICATED ON THE GUIDE BAR 

. If the teeth face backwards, 

turn the loop over (Fig. 4).

5. 

Starting at the tip, mount the chain drive links into the 

 

bar groove, leaving a loop at the back of the bar. The 

chain will loosely fit until it is placed on the sprocket 

 

(Figs. 5 & 6).

  NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain 

.If the chain is mounted 

backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and will not 

cut.

6.  Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop 

around the sprocket. 

Fit the bar flush against the mounting 

surface so that the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar 

and 

the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole

  

(Fig. 7). 

7. 

Adjust the chain tension as needed by adjusting the 

chain tensioner screw with the supplied

 flat-

tip blade 

screwdriver. Make sure to align the chain tensioner screw 

with the pin hole (Fig. 8).

8.  Replace the chain/sprocket end cover. Tighten the end 

cover nut, but leave the bar free to move for tension 

adjustment.

9.  Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain 

tensioner screw clockwise until the chain seats snugly 

against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove  

(Fig. 9).

  NOTE: The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no 

sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug, 

but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more 

information on chain tensioning, see the maintenance 

section beginning on pg. 17.
