Bar
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar prob-
lems. Incorrect sharpening
of chain cutter
and depth gauge settings often cause this.
When bar wears unevenly,
it widens guide
bar groove (see Figure 30). 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.

SHARPENING
SAW CHAIN
_lh WARNING:
Remove
battery
from chain saw before servicing.
Severe injury or death could oc-
cur from body contact with mov=
ing chain.
WARNING: Cutting edges on
chain are sharp.
Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster
and more safely. A dull chain will cause
undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor
wear. If you must force chain into wood and
cutting creates only sawdust with few large
chips, chain is dull.
