You will need these tools to assemble your chain saw:
1. Combination wrench-screwdriver (contained in your
user's kit).
2. Heavy duty work gloves (user supplied).

Your new chain saw will require adjustment of chain,
filling the fuel tank with correct fuel mixture and filling the
oil tank with lubricating oil before the unit is ready for
operation.

precautions.
Your user manual is both a reference guide and hand-

INSTALLATION
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves
when handling chain.
TO INSTALL GUIDE BAR:
To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, ONLY USE THE

illustrated above (Fig. 3A).
1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled back into
the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 3B)
2. Remove the 2 bar retaining nuts (B). Loosen the 2
screws at the rear of the clutch cover (C). Remove
the cover (Fig. 3C).
3. Using a screwdriver, run the adjustment screw (D)
COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the TANG (E) (project-
ing prong) is to the end of its travel toward the clutch
drum and sprocket (Fig. 3D).
4. Place the slotted end of the guide bar over the 2 bar
bolts (F). Position the bar so that the adjustment
TANG fits into the lower hole (G) on the guide bar
(Fig. 3E).

TO INSTALL SAW CHAIN:
1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (A)
pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 4A).
2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind the
clutch (C). Make sure the links fit between the
sprocket teeth (Fig. 4B).
3. Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and around
the end of the bar (Fig. 4B).
NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower
part of bar. This is normal.
4. Install the clutch cover and tighten the 2 screws.
Make sure the chain does not slip off of the bar.
Install the 2 nuts hand tight and follow tension
adjustment instructions in Section SAW CHAIN
TENSION ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: The guide bar retaining nuts are installed only
hand tight at this point because saw chain adjustment is
required. Follow instructions in Section SAW CHAIN
TENSION ADJUSTMENT.

• SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important and
must be checked before starting, as well as during any
cutting operation.
Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw
chain will result in improved cutting performance and
prolonged chain life.
WARNING: Always wear heavy duty gloves
when handling saw chain or making saw
chain adjustments.
TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN:
1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment screw
(D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning
screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount
of tension on chain. Ensure the chain fits snugly all
the way around the guide bar (Fig. 5).
2. After making adjustment, and while still holding nose
of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar
retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper tension
when it has a snug fit all around and can be pulled
around by gloved hand.
NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it
binds, too much tension has been applied. This requires
minor adjustment as follows:
A. Loosen the 2 bar retaining nuts so they are finger
B
tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar
adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly.
Move chain back and forth on bar. Continue to
F
adjust until chain rotates freely, but fits snugly.
Increase tension by turning bar adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE.
B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of
bar in the uppermost position and tighten the 2 bar
G
retaining nuts securely.
