Replacing the saw chain
13. REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN
ATTENTION! When replacing the saw chain, do not clamp the chain saw or the guide bar in a vice.
Always replace the chain if the teeth are excessively worn out and they cannot be sharpened or if the chain
snaps. Use only an original spare chain according to the specifi cations in this user's manual. When replacing
the saw chain, always also replace the cogged wheel of the sprocket. This will ensure the correct position of the
chain during movement. (Note: You will fi nd the specifi cations of the correct chain type and the cogged wheel in
the technical specifi cations.)
Loosen and remove the bar guide bolt.
Remove the sprocket cover.
Remove the saw chain.
Wind the new chain around the cogged wheel,
then along the top groove of the guide bar and
around the guide bar nose.
ATTENTION! Check that the saw teeth are facing
in the correct direction. Put on the chain so that the
teeth on the top side of the guide bar are facing
towards the guide bar nose (see fi gure).
Before placing the sprocket cover into position,
check that the chain tensioning pin is inserted into the adjustment hole on the guide bar.
Put the sprocket cover back on to the body of the chain saw.
Fasten the sprocket cover using the guide bar bolt.
ATTENTION! Only tighten the bolt by hand.
Adjust the tension of the saw chain.
Tighten the guide bar bolt.
ATTENTION! Check that you have not placed the saw chain on the guide bar in the opposite direction.
Otherwise, the chain saw will exhibit excessive vibrations and will not cut.
