* A Stihl MS180C chainsaw

* A chain

* A bar

* A wrench

* A screwdriver

2. Remove the old chain. To remove the old chain, loosen the nuts on the clutch cover with the wrench. Then, remove the clutch cover. Next, remove the bar and chain from the saw.

3. Install the new bar. To install the new bar, place it on the saw and secure it with the nuts. Make sure that the bar is seated properly against the saw body.

4. Install the new chain. To install the new chain, loop it around the bar and connect the ends. Then, insert the chain into the sprocket on the saw body. Make sure that the chain is seated properly on the sprocket.

5. Adjust the chain tension. To adjust the chain tension, use the screwdriver to turn the tensioning screw. The chain should be snug, but not too tight.

6. Secure the clutch cover. Once the chain is tensioned, secure the clutch cover with the nuts.

7. Test the saw. Start the saw and let it run for a few minutes. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations. If everything sounds and feels okay, you are ready to start using your saw!

Tips:

* When installing a new chain, be sure to loop it in the correct direction. The cutting teeth should be facing forward.

* If the chain is too loose, it may come off the bar. If the chain is too tight, it may damage the saw.

* If you are unsure about how to put a chain on a chainsaw, consult your owner's manual or a qualified technician.
