Fitting the bar and chain

WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
!
working with the chain.
• Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position
by moving the front hand guard towards the front
handle.
• Unscrew the bar nut and remove the clutch cover
(chain brake).
• Make sure that the chain tensioner adjuster pin is in its
rearmost position. Fit the bar over the guide bar bolt
and locate the chain tensioner adjuster pin in the cut
out in the bar.
• Place the chain over the drive sprocket and in the
groove in the bar. Begin on the top side of the bar.
• Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are
facing forward on the top edge of the guide bar.
• Check that the drive links of the chain fit correctly on
the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the groove
on the bar. Fit the clutch cover (chain brake) and
tighten the bar nut finger-tight.
• Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The
chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from
the underside of the bar. See instructions under the
heading Tensioning the chain.

ASSEMBLY

• The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no
slack on the underside of the bar, and it can still be
turned easily by hand. Tighten the bar nut with the
combination spanner while holding up the tip of the
bar.
• When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
