The following is a list of the maintenance steps that must be performed on the machine. Most of the items are described
in the Maintenance section.
Each use
Clean the outside of the machine.
Check that the components of the
power trigger work safely. (Power
trigger lockout and power trigger.)
Clean the chain brake and check that
it operates safely. Make sure that the
chain catcher is undamaged, and
replace it if necessary.
The bar should be turned daily for
more even wear. Check the

is not clogged. Clean the bar groove.
Check that the bar and chain are
getting sufficient oil.
Check the saw chain with regard to
visible cracks in the rivets and links,
whether the saw chain is stiff or
whether the rivets and links are
abnormally worn. Replace if
necessary.
Sharpen the chain and check its
tension and condition. Check the
drive sprocket for excessive wear and
replace if necessary.
Clean the machine's air inlet.
Check that nuts and screws are tight.
