ATTACHING THE BAR & CHAIN (If not already attached) WARNING: If received assembled, repeat all steps to ensure your saw is properly assembled and all fasteners are secure.

InsideviewofChainBrake Adjustment located on Chain Brake S Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise to move the adjusting pin almost as far as it will go to the rear. This should allow the pin to be near the correct position. Further adjustment may be necessary as you mount the bar. S Mount the bar as illustrated. S Slide the bar toward the rear of the saw as far as possible. S Prepare the chain by checking the proper direction. Without following the illustration it is easy to place the chain on the saw in the wrong direction. Use the illustration of the chain to determine the proper direction. S Place the chain onto the sprocket located behind the clutch drum (see illustration). Fit the chain between the teeth in the sprocket. S Start at the top of the bar and fit chain into groove around the guide bar. S Pull the bar forward until the chain is snug in the groove of the bar. S Hold guide bar against the saw frame and install the chain brake. Make sure the adjusting pin is aligned with the hole in the bar. Remember this pin moves the bar forward and backward as the screw is turned. S Replace the chain brake nuts and tighten finger tight. Once the chain is tensioned you will need to tighten chain brake nuts. MounttheBarProperchaindirectionTipofBar Place chain onto the sprocket CHAIN TENSION (Including units with chain already installed) NOTE: When adjusting chain tension, make sure the chain brake nuts are finger tight only. Attempting to tension the chain when the chain brake nuts are tight can cause damage. Checking the tension: Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjustment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the bar. ChainAdjustmentTool(BarTool) Chain Brake Nuts Adjusting the tension: Chain tension is very important. Chain stretches during use. This is especially true during the first few times you use your saw. Always check chain tension each time you use and refuel your saw. You can adjust the chain tension by loosening the chain brake nuts and turning the adjusting screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on the bar. S If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise. S If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw 1/4 turn clockwise.
