11 Assembling the Chain Saw

► Turn the side chain tensioner (3) counterclockwise until
the tensioning gear (4) sits flush against the housing.
► Position the saw chain in the groove of the guide bar,
starting at the tip.
► Make sure that the cutters in the groove on the top side of
the guide bar face the tip of the bar. STIHL saw chains are
manufactured with arrows on the tie straps to help the

toward the bar tip.

► Slide the guide bar (8) over the collar screw (6). The head
of the collar screw must protrude into the oblong hole.
► Fit the pin of the tensioning gear in the hole (7) of the
guide bar.
► Disengage the chain brake, @ 12.2.
► Direct the drive links into the groove of the guide bar
(arrow) while turning the side chain tensioner (3)
clockwise until it stops.
The guide bar and saw chain must be firmly and securely
mounted on the chain saw.
► Fit the sprocket cover on the chain saw so that it is flush
with the housing.
► Turn the nut clockwise until the chain sprocket cover is
firmly attached to the chain saw.
