3.  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 (Fig. 3).

 NOTE: 

Make certain of the direction of the chain. If 

the chain is mounted backwards, the saw will vibrate 

abnormally and will not cut.

4. 

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. 4). 

NOTE:

 If the adjusting pin will not reach the chain tension pin 

hole, turn the chain tensioning screw counter-clockwise until 

the pin hole aligns with the adjusting pin.

5.

  While keeping the bar and chain flush against the 

mounting surface, adjust the chain tension as needed 

by adjusting the chain tensioner screw with the supplied 

flat-tip blade screwdriver. Turn the chain tensioner screw 

clockwise to tightening the chain, or counter-clockwise to 

loosen the chain (Fig. 5).

6.  Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by inserting the rear 

tab first into the rear tab slot and position the cover over 

the bar end. Tighten the end cover nut; leave the bar loose 

enough to move slightly for tension adjustment (Fig. 6).
