• Always wear gloves when installing or removing the
saw chain.
1. To remove the saw chain, move the lever in the
upright position. (Fig. 7)
2. Press the lever and with the lever pressed in, turn it
counterclockwise to loosen the nut until sprocket
cover comes off. (Pressing in the lever leads to the
fitting of lever into the nut.)
3. Turn the adjusting dial counterclockwise to release the
saw chain tension.
4. Remove the sprocket cover.
5. Remove the saw chain and guide bar from the chain
saw.
6. To install the saw chain, fit in one end of the saw chain
on the top of the guide bar and the other end of it
around the sprocket. (Fig. 8)
At this time, fit the saw chain as shown in the figure
because it rotates in the direction of arrow.
7. Rest the guide bar in place on the chain saw.
8. Turn the adjusting dial counterclockwise to slide the
adjusting pin in the direction of arrow. (Fig. 9)
9. Place the sprocket cover on the chain saw so that the
hook at its back cover is inserted into a hole in the
chain saw and the adjusting pin is positioned in a
small hole in the guide bar. (Fig. 10)
10. Press in the lever and with the lever depressed turn it
fully clockwise to tighten the nut. Then make it about a
quarter turn counterclockwise to loosen the nut lightly.

Adjusting saw chain tension (Fig. 12)
The saw chain may become loose after many hours of
use. From time to time check the saw chain tension
before use.
Move the lever in the upright position.
Press in the lever. With the lever depressed, make a
quarter turn on it counterclockwise to loosen the nut
lightly. (Pressing in the lever leads to the fitting of lever
into the nut.) (Fig. 13)
Turn the adjusting dial to adjust saw chain tension. Grasp
the saw chain in the middle of the guide bar and lift up.
The gap between the guide bar and the tie strap of the
saw chain should be approx. 2 - 4 mm. If the gap is not
approx. 2 - 4 mm, slightly turn the adjusting dial which
secures the guide bar. At this time, adjust with the tip of
guide bar slightly pointing up. (Fig. 14)
With the lever depressed, turn it fully clockwise to tighten
the nut firmly. (Fig. 15)
Return the lever to its original position. (Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Excessively high tension of saw chain may cause
breakage of saw chain, wear of the guide bar and
breakage of the adjusting dial.
• Installing or removing saw chain should be carried out
in a clean place free from sawdust and the like.
