Quick Start Guide

Read before continuing

695GC / 695F4

• Loosen side cover nut and remove side cover.

• Place bar onto stud and engage alignment block.

• Mount the diamond chain on the guidebar starting at the drive
sprocket and continue over the guidebar nose.

NOTE: FORCE4 requires rim to be pulled outward for chain

installation.

• Install the side cover and ensure chain adjustment pin engages hole
in bar.

• Do not fully tighten side cover nut until after chain is properly
tensioned.

• Make sure all the drive links are inside the guide bar groove then lift
the bar nose and tension the chain by turning the screw clockwise.

ASSEMBLING THE SAW

• Before cutting, check for proper tension by pulling the chain around
the bar by hand. If you cannot easily pull by hand, the chain is too
tight and needs to be loosened slightly.

CAUTION: Be aware that guidebar rails may develop sharp edges

over time so always pull the diamond chain by the diamond
segments.
