Chain and Guide Bar Installation/Replacement
The chainsaw supports both 6-inch and 8-inch guide bars and chains, allowing for a 2-in-1 DIY design to adjust the saw size as needed. The chain installation is tool-free.
- Unlock Side Cover: Turn the knob on the side of the chainsaw counter-clockwise to unlock and remove the side cover.
- Remove Old Chain/Bar (if applicable): Carefully lift off the old guide bar and chain.
- Install New Chain: Place the chain around the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edge (knife) of the chain faces forward, as indicated by the diagram. Incorrect chain direction will prevent proper cutting.
- Position Chain and Bar: Fit the chain around the sprocket on the chainsaw body and align the guide bar with the mounting studs.
- Replace Side Cover: Place the side cover back onto the chainsaw, ensuring it aligns correctly.
- Adjust Chain Tension: Use the provided screwdriver to adjust the chain tension screw. The chain should be snug but still able to be pulled freely around the guide bar by hand. It should not sag excessively.
- Lock Side Cover: Turn the knob clockwise to securely lock the side cover in place.
- Install Battery: Insert a charged battery into the battery slot until it clicks into place.
