Fitting the Bar & Chain (continued)
• Put down the chain cover, inserting it into its housing
and, keeping it pressed against the bar, screw on the
chain tightener screw (L, Fig. 5) so that the pawl (D,
Fig. 3) goes into the hole (G, Fig. 3) of the bar.
• Fit the chain cover and the relative nuts without
tightening them.
• Tension the chain by means of the tensioning screw
(L, Fig. 5).
• Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the chain
cover nuts securely (Fig. 7). The chain should be taut
but turn freely by hand (Fig. 8).
• The chain is tensioned correctly when it can be
pulled upwards a few millimeters (Fig. 8).
