Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its 
rearmost position. Place the chain over the drive

Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin 
in the hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the 
chain fit correctly over the drive sprocket and that the 

chain is correctly located in the groove in the bar. 
Tighten the bar nuts finger tight.

Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning 
screw clockwise using the combination spanner. The 
chain should be tensioned until it does not sag from 
the underside of the bar. See instructions under the 
heading Tensioning the chain.

The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag 
from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned 
easily by hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar 
nuts with the combination spanner.

When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be 
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the 
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain 
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
