> Ensure the tension pin (24) is adjusted to far left position, turn the
tension screw (3) anticlockwise if required (Figs. 3, 4).
> Align the guide bar (5) and saw chain (4) assembly with the drive
sprocket (20) and bolt (23). Lay the saw chain around the drive
sprocket and then lower the guide bar to install it to the bolt (Figs.
5, 6).
WARNING! Always use a saw chain designed as “low-
kickback” or a saw chain which meets the low-kickback
requirements! A standard saw chain (a chain which does
not have the kickback reducing guard links) should only be
used by an experienced professional operator!
Nevertheless, a low-kickback saw chain does not
completely eliminated kickback! A low-kickback or “safety”
chain should never be regarded as complete protection
against injury! Therefore always use a low-kickback saw
chain in conjunction with other kickback protection devices
such as the front guard/chain brake!
