Fitting the bar and chain

Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by 
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.

Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain 
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).

Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost 
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it 
in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.

Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing 
forward on the top edge of the bar.

Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the 
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit 
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is 
correctly located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar 
nuts finger tight.

Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw 
clockwise using the combination spanner.

The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from 
the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by 
hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the 
combination spanner.

When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be 
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the 
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain 
ensures good cutting performance and long life.

Note: If clutch cover is difficult to remove, replace bar 
nuts, engage brake and rerelease (an audible click will be 
heard if released properly).

!

WARNING! Always wear gloves, when 
working with the chain.
