MAINTENANCE
REPLACing Bar and Chain
See Figures 24 - 28.
warning:
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw and make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw. Failure to do so may result in accidental starting and possible serious injury
WARNING:
The safety instructions in this section are to protect the user from serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves when handling the bar and chain; these components are sharp and may contain burrs.
WARNING:
Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp; always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain to avoid possible serious lacerations.
Remove the battery pack before you do any work on the chain saw.
Remove the hex key from the storage area and use it to remove the chain cover screw, washer and chain cover from the chain saw.
Remove the bar and chain from the mounting surface.
Remove the old chain from the bar.
Lay 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 the opposite direction, turn the loop over.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove. Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar. Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop around the sprocket of the chain saw. Fit the bar flush against the mounting surface so that the bar stud is in the long slot of the bar.
NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar stud, assure that the adjusting pin is in the chain tension pin hole.
