CARE
OF GUIDE
BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems.
Incorrect sharpening
of chain
cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly,
it widens
guide bar groove (see Figure 18). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw
will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening
chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe.
A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
