 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.
