by sliding it away from the chainsaw housing and then lifting the bar
over the two threaded studs.
4. Insert the guide bar (19) into position over the 2 threaded studs, and on
a slight angle upwards, and push the guide bar (19) under the clutch and
brake assembly (38) fully towards the drive sprocket (29) to easily place
the chain (20) around the guide bar (19) (Fig E).
NOTE: At this point, the chain tensioning pin (30) is NOT engaged on the
guide bar (19).
5. Place the new chain over and then under the chain brake and clutch
assembly (38), and then around the drive sprocket (29) loosely with the
chain links in the direction shown on the guide bar (19) (Fig F).
6. Once the chain (20) is in position around the nose of the guide bar (19),
ensure that the chain links are located within the bar guide channel, (Fig
G), and the chain (20) is fully located around the drive sprocket (29).
7. On the chain drive side cover (23), adjust the chain tensioning screw (22)
in an anti clockwise direction as per the following, so the assembly of the
guide bar (19) is NOT
tight on the chain
(20). When replacing
the existing
chain, rotate the
adjustment screw 5
FULL turns.
