GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN MAINTENANCE

1. GUIDE BAR

Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely
by keeping the product well maintained.
Incorrect filling and non-standard cutter and depth
gauge settings are the causes of most
guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven
bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the
rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter
and make it difficult to complete straight cuts.
If the guide bar is insufficiently lubricated and the
product is operated with a saw chain which
is too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear. To
help minimise bar wear, maintenance of
the guide bar as well as the saw chain is
recommended.
1). Disassemble the guide bar and saw chain in
reversed order from assembly.
2). Check the oiling port (B14) for clogging and
clean if necessary to ensure proper lubrication
of the guide bar and saw chain during operation.
Use a soft wire small enough to insert into the
oil discharge hole. (See Fig. 18a)
NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be
easily checked. If the passages are clear, the
chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within
seconds of the product starting. Your product is
equipped with an automatic oiling system.
3). Check the drive sprocket (B10). If it is worn or
damaged due to strain, have it replaced by
an authorised service agent.
4). Clear residue from the rails on the guide bar (B7)
using a screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush or other
similar tool. This will keep the oil passages open to
provide proper lubrication to the guide bar (B7) and
saw chain (B6). (See Fig. 18b)
5). Check the guide bar 'rail' for wear: Hold a ruler
(straight edge) against the side of the guide
bar and 'cutter side plates'. If there is a gap
