Guide Bar Maintenance; Transporting And Storing - Ego Power+ CS1610E Operator's Manual

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
petrol, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result
in serious personal injury.
CLEANING
◾
After each use, clean debris from the chain and guide
bar with a soft brush. Wipe the chain saw surface with
a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft brush to EN
remove debris from the guide bar, saw chain, sprocket
and side cover.
◾
Always clean out wood chips, saw dust, and dirt from
the guide bar groove when replacing the saw chain.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, disassemble
it from the chain saw power head and reverse it for
reassembly (Fig. U1). This way the wear will be distributed
to maximize the guide bar life.
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked
for wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar
rails is a normal process of bar wear. Such faults should
be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur. A bar with
any of the following faults should be replaced.
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay
over sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip (Fig.
U2). The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a
grease syringe to extend the guide bar life. Use a grease
syringe to lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the
lubricating hole (Fig. U3). Turn the guide bar and check
that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from
impurities.
