nLay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of chain rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over.

nPosition the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.

nHold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop around the sprocket.

nFit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar.

Note:  When placing the bar on the bar studs, ensure that the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.
