NOTE:
A fresh saw chain is apt to become loose on the guide
bar. Therefore, it is recommended to check the saw
chain tension occasionally while it is fresh.
A poorly strained saw chain can slip off the guide bar.
Keep saw waste, dust or dirt away from the place where
you will install/remove saw chain or adjust saw chain
tension.
Installing or removing guide bar
To remove the guide bar, first remove the sprocket guard and
saw chain as described in the Installing or removing saw
chain section.
Loosen the bolt after removing the saw chain. Consequently,
the compression spring in the adjust base is automatically
tensed to push the guide bar to the initial position. And then
loosen the bolt further to remove the guide bar. First, remove
the adjust base, and second, remove the guide bar.
To install the guide bar, fitting the long elliptic hole of the
guide bar on the guide pin, slide the guide bar in the direction
of the arrow until it stops.
Keep the guide bar in the position.
Fit the two pins on the adjust base in the two holes on the
guide bar. Put the bolt through the hole on the adjust base.
