Follow these steps to properly install the chain and guide bar:
- Ensure the chainsaw is unplugged from the power source.
- 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.
