ASSEMBLY
Fitting the bar and chain
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the
underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand.
Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combination spanner.
WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
working with the chain, in order to protect
your hands from injury.

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.
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
NOTE!
If clutch cover is difficult to remove, replace bar nuts, engage
brake and rerelease (an audible click will be heard if released
properly).
Unscrew the bar nut and remove the clutch cover (chain
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it in
the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is correctly
located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar nuts finger
tight.
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
clockwise using the combination spanner. See instructions
under the heading Tensioning the chain.
