Guide Bar Maintenance
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 that permits the saw
•
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. 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. 20) on each side of the bar. Turn the
guide bar and check that the lubrication holes
and chain groove are free from impurities.
When the guide bar shows signs of wear,
reverse it on the saw to distribute the wear for
maximum bar life.
a. Remove the guide bar and chain from the
pruning saw, following the section "Replacing
the Bar and Chain".
b. Turn the guide bar over. The bottom of the
bar will be on the top (Fig. 20).
c. Adjust the chain tension, following the
section: "Adjusting the Chain Tension".
Transporting and Storing
Switch the product off and remove the battery
•
pack.
Clean the product and place the chain sheath
•
onto the guide bar and chain.
Clean the product and empty the oil tank.
•
Store the product and its accessories in a

dark, dry, frost-free, well-ventilated place.
Always store the product in a place that is
•
inaccessible to children. The ideal storage
is under room temperature. Use caution to
avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as
•
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
The saw can be hung on a nail, screw, or similar sturdy object using the storage clip.
You can also hang the machine on the included hanging set for convenient storage:
a. Hang the loop of the rail hook on the base of the easy storage rail (Fig. 21a).
b. Horizontally level and securely mount the easy storage rail on the wall with 2 #6×1" screws (not
supplied) to secure the rail hook between the base and the wall.
c. Remove the battery pack – the saw cannot be hung with the battery pack attached.
d. Hang the machine onto the rail hook as shown (Fig. 21b).
