Chain brake disengaged

You can run chains of different pitches on this chainsaw -
depending on the chain sprocket (see "Specifications"). The
chain pitch must match the guide bar. The drive link gauge
must match the guide bar groove width.
The guide bar and Oilomatic chain are supplied separately.
To mount them, first unscrew the collar nut  and - if your
machine does not have a chain brake - take out the pan
head srew  and remove the sprocket cover  . If you
have a Quickstop model, the chain brake must be disenga-
ged before you remove the sprocket cover by pulling the
hand guard toward the front handle.
Now back off the tensioning nut  by turning the tensioning
screw  counterclockwise until the end of its thread is level
with the tensioning nut.
Locate the slot of the guide bar over the stud bolt  and
push it at an angle between the clutch drum of the sprocket
 and the peg of the tensioning nut  until the stud bolt
 is at the forward end of the slot.
To protect yourself from being injured by the sharp cutting
edges you should always wear gloves when fitting the saw
chain and guide bar or tensioning and checking the chain.
