Don’t turn on its side. Place it on a table close to the edge, and take it apart as shown, sharpen, clean what ever.. then just slide it back on. The studs will hold the bar and you can put the chain on without having to hold the bar or have the bar fall from nose weight. This is so much easier. Also get foil tape and cover the outside hole on the bar to allow more oil to stay in the chain groove. 😊
Thanks for your question. Saws are packed with bar and chain disassembled. However, Chainsaws are mostly bought from dealerships, where the dealer (an expert) should assemble and thoroughly check the saw before sale.
Wow,it helped me alot,I thought I hv to sharpen the chain,while install it other way around,teeth wer facing back,I didn't know till I watch this video,thanks alot
Hi Lisa, the chain break is the big black lever at the front of the saw. When it is pushed forward it is engaged and prevents the chain from moving, pull it back to disengage it before you attempt to remove the side cover. Make sure the nuts are completely loosened, you may need to pull quite firmly to remove the cover.
Can I replace a stud for the Clutch cover. It snapped off from my Echo Battery saw. PS. I'm Unemployed Cancer Survivor, whom took up Chainsaw Carving for Stress relief. So I've put chains on a thousand times over the last 2.5 yrs
