•Place the tool on a firm and stable surface.
•Loosen the screws (16) using the Allen key provided. Remove the screws.
•Remove the sprocket cover (5) and the bar clamp (17).
•Turn the screw (18) counterclockwise to allow the guide bar (6) to recede and to reduce the tension on the saw chain (7).
•Remove the old saw chain from the sprocket
(19)and the guide bar (6).
•Place the new saw chain in the groove of the guide bar and around the sprocket. Make sure that the teeth are facing the correct direction by matching the arrow on the saw chain with the arrow on the housing.

To adjust the tension:
•Loosen the screws (16).
•Turn the screw (18) clockwise.
