◾
Remove the side cover, and then use a soft
◾
brush to 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.
