ATTACHING THE BAR AND CHAIN

Always wear your gloves when working on or with your saw. The Top Sharp Chain on your Power Sharp saw is

extremely sharp and can easily cut you even when it is not moving! Your saw is equipped with a Control Tip bar and

a Low-Kick chain to help avoid accidents due to kickback. When replacing these items, always use the Control Tip and

Low-Kick chain designed for your particular chain saw model.

1. Remove the 6-sided hex nut near the

front of the saw. Loosen by turning hex

wrench counterclockwise. Remove small

screw in back.

2. Remove the bar clamp. Find the small

adjusting pin and screw just to the right

and below the bar mounting stud (silver

bolt). Turn the adjusting screw counter

clockwise to position the pin nearly alt

the way to the rear.

3. To install the guide bar as shown, slide

the guide bar behind the clutch drum

with the large bolt fitting in the slot in

the bar and the small adjusting pin

through the small hole in the bar. Once

the guide bar is in position, keep it flat

against the side of the saw during chain

mounting.

5. Making sure the guide bar is still flat

against the side of the saw and the chain

is still on the sprocket, replace the bar

clamp and finger tighten the hex nut.

Don't tighten it down as you are going

to adjust the chain before you finish

tightening the nut. Replace the small

bar clamp screw in back and tighten.

6. Holding the tip of the bar up, turn the

adjusting screw clockwise just until the

chain does not sag beneath the bar.

7. When you have the proper tension on

the chain it will move freely around the

bar but only lift about 1/8" from the

bar as shown above. Now while holding

the tip of the bar up, tighten the hex

nut completely and recheck the rear

screw.

4. Pick up the chain so that the top links

have the cutters facing in the direction

shown above. Place the chain behind the

clutch drum on the sprocket. Bring the

chain along the top of the bar, setting it

in the groove. If the chain does not set

in easily at the tip, pull the chain

forward and let the groove guide the

chain around the tip.

NOTE; The chain stretches during use

(especially when new) and it will be neces

sary to adjust and tighten it occasionally.

Check the chain tension each time you use

the saw. A loose chain will wear the bar

and itself, A loose chain can also jump off

the bar while you are cutting. A chain that

is too tight can damage the saw and/or

break. Either situation, too loose or too

tight, could cause injury. Keep the chain

out of the dirt. Cutting into the dirt or cut-

ing a dirty piece of wood will immediately

dull the chain.
