Assembling bar and chain
3
First check that the unit is unplugged. Then remove the
bar nuts and the bar plate. Fit the bar and chain and
return the bar plate to its place.
Check that the bar abuts the spacers and isn’t caught
on wood chips or the guiding ange for the pin bolts.
Check also that the chain runs correctly and that it lies
all the way around the drive gear.
The chain is tensioned by pulling the bar outwards
by hand as the bar bolts are tightened. If this is not
enough, use a screwdriver as a lever by inserting it in
the hole in the bar, levering outwards carefully as the
bolts are tightened.
If it is not possible to pull a whole chain tooth out of the
bar using the index nger and the thumb, the chain is
too tight. A chain that is too tight will increase wear on
both chain and bar.
