Remove the clutch cover, loosen the bar and slide it back. Remove the old chain, install the new one and tighten it. Make sure you don't tighten it too much or you will wreck it. Too much tension on the chain will cause undue friction and the chain will heat up an could lose it's temper (soften).

How do you replace poulan chainsaw starter rope?

The pull-starter system on a Poulan chain saw includes a
pull-starter pulley, rope and recoil spring that are prone to wear
and breakage. The pull starter is nothing more than a thin rope
that rubs against the eyelet with each pull. That action slowly
wears away the rope, eventually leading to a frayed or broken rope.
A broken pull starter must be replaced, which is a good opportunity
to inspect the chain saw's other moving parts for breaks and
excessive wear. Replace worn or broken parts with new units to
restore your Poulan chain saw to like-new condition and proper
pull-starter operation.
