What happens here
To install the bar and chain, first ensure the chain brake is disengaged. Use the chainsaw wrench to remove the side cover from the chainsaw. Carefully place the new chain onto the drive sprocket, ensuring the cutting edges are facing the correct direction (forward). Slide the guide bar onto the mounting studs and route the chain around the bar, making sure it sits correctly in the guide groove. Reattach the side cover, aligning the chain tensioner pin with the hole in the bar. Before fully tightening the nuts with the chainsaw wrench, adjust the chain tension so there is a small amount of play, allowing it to move freely but without excessive slack. Finally, install the chain catch (a small metal piece designed to prevent a broken chain from whipping back at the user) on the bottom side of the chainsaw, using the chainsaw wrench to secure it with a small bushing and bolt.
Goal: Securely attach all cutting components to the chainsaw powerhead.
