NOTE: Make certain of the direction of the chain
If the chain is mounted backwards, the saw will vibrate
abnormally and will not cut.

Loop
7. 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 and the
adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole (Fig. 10).

Sprocket
8. Replace the chain/sprocket end cover by positioning the
cover onto the saw head. Tighten the end cover knob,
but leave the bar free to move for tension adjustment.
Put back the hex bolt by screwing it clockwise with the hex
key wrench.
9. Remove all slack from the chain by turning the chain
tensioner ring clockwise until the chain seats snugly against
the bar with the drive links in the bar groove (Fig. 11).
NOTE: The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no
sag on the underside of the guide bar; the chain is snug,
but can be rotated by hand without binding. For more
information on chain tensioning, see the Maintenance +
Care section beginning on pg. 17.
