PUTTING INTO OPERATION (Fig. 25)
CAUTION:
Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain,
always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off
the spark plug (see "Replacing the spark plug").
Always wear protective gloves!
CAUTION:
Do not start the saw until it has been completely
assembled and inspected!
Mounting the guide bar and saw chain (Fig. 26)
Use the universal wrench delivered with the chain saw for
the following work.
Put the chain saw on a stable surface and carry out the
following steps for mounting the guide bar and chain:
Disengage the chain brake by pulling the hand guard (1)
in the direction of the arrow.
Unscrew retaining nut (2).
Carefully spread the sprocket cover (3), pull it from its
fixture (4) and remove it.
Turn the chain adjusting screw (5) to the left
(counterclockwise) until the pin (6) is at the right stop.
(Fig. 27 & 28)
Position the guide bar (7). (Fig. 29)
Lift the chain (9) over the sprocket (10). Using your right
hand, guide the chain into the top guide groove (11) on
the guide bar. (Fig. 30)

Note that the cutting edges along the top of the chain
must point in the direction of the arrow!
Pull the chain (9) around the nose (12) of the guide bar in
the direction of the arrow.
Pull the guide bar by hand fully toward its nose. Make
sure that the chain blade fits
the grooves of the guide bar. (Fig. 31)
First, push the sprocket cover (3) into its fixture (4). Make
sure that the pin (8) of the
chain tightener is in the hole on the guide bar. Then push
it over the retaining bolt
while lifting the saw chain (9) over the chain catch (13).
Manually tighten the retaining nut (2). (Fig. 32)

Tightening the saw chain

Turn the chain adjusting screw (5) to the right (clockwise)
until the chain engages the guide groove of the bottom
side of the bar (see circle).
Slightly lift the end of the guide bar and turn the chain
adjusting screw (5) to the right (clockwise) until the chain
rests against the bottom side of the guide bar.
While still holding up the tip of the guide bar, tighten the
retaining nuts (2) with the universal wrench. (Fig. 33)
Checking the chain tension (Fig. 34)
The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests
against the bottom side of the guide bar and can still be
easily turned by hand.
