N Turn the bar over – every time you
sharpen the chain and every time
you replace the chain – this helps
avoid one-sided wear, especially at
the nose and underside of the bar.
N Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and the bar
groove (3).
N Measure the groove depth – with
the scale on the filing gauge (special
accessory) – in the area used most
for cutting.

the bar rails.

Air Filter System

The air filter system can be adapted to
suit different operating conditions by
installing a choice of filters. Changing
the filter is quick and simple.
The saw comes standard with either a
fleece filter or a fabric filter.
Fleece filter with felt prefilter
For normal, dry and very dusty work
areas.
Fabric filter
For severe winter conditions (e.g.
powder and drifting snow, frost).
