Mounting the Bar and Chain

You can run chains of different pitches
on this chainsaw – depending on the
chain sprocket (see "Specifications").
The chain pitch must match the guide
bar. The drive link gauge must match the
guide bar groove width.
The pitch is marked in inches on
the sprocket and guide bar (e.g. 3/8
or .325) and the groove width is
additionally marked on the bar in
millimeters (e.g. 1.6)
Do not run non-matching
components together (different
pitches or drive link gauges) since
they will otherwise be damaged
beyond repair within a very short
period of operation.
Do not connect the saw to the power
supply yet.
: Unscrew the nut and remove the
chain sprocket cover.
