NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain
. If the chain is mounted
backwards, the saw will vibrate abnormally and
will not cut.
7. 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. 11).
8. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by positioning the
cover onto the saw head. Tighten the end cover knob, but
leave the bar free to move for tension adjustment.
Put back the hex bolt by screwing it clockwise with the
hex key wrench.
9. Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner ring clockwise until the chain seats snugly
against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove
(Fig. 12).
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. 16.
Connecting to the Telescoping Pole
1. Open the assembly lock on the telescoping pole, and
push the chain saw head into the opening on the end of
the pole (Fig. 13).
2. When the lock tabs snap in, lock back the assembly lock,
the pole chain saw will be ready to use (Fig. 14).
