Fit one end of the chain over the sprocket and the other over the end of the guide bar. Notice that the cutters must be in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3 and 4. Keep the chain in the guide bar grooves.
Install the guide bar so that the lower hole in the guide bar is just over the adjusting pin. Install the chain cover and tighten the hex bolt only tight enough to hold the guide bar temporarily.
