z_WARNING 1
Do not use the saw without the handguard in place.
I Always replace the handguard immediately if it
[ becomes damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.
• Lift and carry the chain saw by the handlebar,
not by the handguard,
• Keep the handguard securely fastened at all
times. Check the handguard screws each
time the saw is used.

the hole in the handlebar. Figure 1.
3. Insert the 3 mounting screws into the 3 holes
on the Handguard Cap.
4. Turn each screw with a Phillips screwdriver a little
at a time clockwise, until the Handguard Cap and
Handguard meet and there is no gap between the
two parts.
C. ATTACHING THE SPUR
The spur is a special piece of equipment de-
signed to assist the cutting operation. When
assembled to the saw, the spur will dig into the
tree or log and:
--relieve contact pressure adding ease to the
sawing operation.
--allow the saw to be more easily rotated or
pivoted into the cut.
To install:
1. Remove Bar Clamp Nuts, Bar clamp Housing
and Guide Bar Plates.

clamp side of the saw. Figure 2.
