SAn adjusting pin and screw is used to ad- just the tension of the chain. It is very im- portant when assembling the bar, that the pin located on the adjusting screw aligns into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will move the adjustment pin up and down the screw. Locate this adjustment before you begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See illustration below.

S Turn the adjusting screw counterclock- wise to move the adjusting pin almost as far as it will go to the rear. This should allow the pin to be near the correct position. Fur- ther adjustment may be necessary as you mount the bar.
SMount the bar as illustrated.
SSlide the bar toward the rear of the saw as
far as possible.
SPrepare the chain by checking the proper direction. Without following the illustration it is easy to place the chain on the saw the wrong direction. Use the illustration of the chain to determine the proper direction.
