How to install and care for your chain
- Ensure your saw is powered off and the chain brake is engaged before handling the bar.

- Install the D59 chain so the drive links align with the bar’s groove and the teeth engage the sprocket properly.
- Tension the chain so it moves freely about the bar but does not sag when pulled by hand.
- After use, wipe away debris and oil the chain lightly; check tension and re-torque as needed after the next use.
