Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any
kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of chain
rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove as
shown.
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the
bar.
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.
NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure
that the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.
