Disassembling the Worn Bar and Chain
a. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool,
then tighten the oil-tank cap.
b. Position the pruning saw on its side on a firm,
flat surface, so that the side cover is facing
up.
c. Lift the tab and rotate the side-cover knob
counterclockwise, then remove the side
cover. Clean the side cover with a dry cloth
(Fig. 17a).
d. Lift the kickback guard. Remove the bar
and saw chain from the mounting surface.
Remove the worn chain from the bar.
This is a good time to inspect the
NOTICE
drive sprocket for excessive wear
or damage.
Assembling the New Bar and Chain
a. Remove the battery, allow the saw to cool,
then tighten the oil-tank cap.
b. Lay the new saw chain in a loop on a flat
surface and straighten any kinks. The
cutters should face in the direction of chain
rotation, if they face backwards, turn the
loop over
(Fig. 17b & 17e).
c. Place the chain-drive links into the guide-
bar groove. Position the chain so there is a
loop at the back of the guide bar (Fig. 17d).
d. Place the loop around the sprocket.
When looping the saw chain onto the sprocket, make sure that the direction of the
NOTICE
saw chain cutters match the cutter pattern and rotation direction arrow on the
housing. If they face in opposite directions, turn over the saw chain and guide bar assembly.
