Follow these steps to properly install the chain and guide bar:
- Provjerite je li motorna pila isključena iz izvora napajanja.
- Remove the side cover by turning the lock knob counter-clockwise and detaching it.
- Carefully install the chain onto the guide bar. Ensure the cutting edges along the top of the chain point in the direction of the arrow on the guide bar.
- Place the guide bar and chain against the sprocket on the chainsaw body.
- Reattach the side cover and turn the lock knob clockwise to tighten the guide bar and chain.
- Adjust the chain tension appropriately by turning the knob counter-clockwise until the chain is snug but can still be pulled freely around the bar. Once the SDS knob is fully tightened, it ensures optimal chain tension is maintained.
