- Remove the bar nuts and the clutch cover.
- Assemble the guide bar onto the bar bolts. Move the guide bar to its most rear position.
- Install the saw chain correctly around the drive sprocket and put it in the groove on the guide bar. Ensure the edges of the cutters point forward on the top edge of the guide bar.
