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 between the ruler and guide bar the
guide bar 'rail' is normal. If there is no gap (ruler flush against the side of the guide bar)
the guide bar 'rail' is worn and needs to be replaced with a new one of the same type.
(See Fig. 36c)
6. Turn the guide bar 180° to allow even wear, thereby extending the life span of the guide
bar (D7).
7. Check the saw chain for possible wear and damages. Replace it with a new one if
required. Experienced user can sharpen a dull saw chain (see section "Saw chain
sharpening" below).
8. Refit the saw chain (D6) and the guide bar (D7) as described under "Assembly".
SAW CHAIN SHARPING
WARNING! Only sharpen the saw chain yourself if you are trained and have
experience! Use proper tools to sharpen the saw chain!
NOTE: Never saw with a blunt chain. The saw chain is blunt if you have to push the product
into the tree and the chips are very small.
1. Have the saw chain (D6) sharpened professionally at an authorised service centre or
sharpen the chain yourself by using a suitable sharpening kit. Also observe the
sharpening instructions supplied with the sharpening kit.
2. The height difference between the tooth and the ridge is the cutting depth. When
sharpening the saw chain (D6) you have to consider the following points. (See Fig. 37a)
- File angle
- Cutting angle
- File position
- Diameter of round file
- File depth
