Lift the saw chain above the drive sprocket and engage it in the groove on the guide bar. Start on the top edge of the guide bar. (Fig. 39) 6. Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are turned forward on the top edge of the guide bar. 7. Assemble the sprocket cover and steer the chain adjuster pin to the hole in the guide bar. 8.
