Bar And Chain Combinations - Ryobi RY40505 Operator's Manual

Proper maintenance will maximize the useful life of the
guide bar.
Each day of use:
Clean the bar and check for wear and damage. Feathering
or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear,
but such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as
they occur.
Each week of use:
Reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute the wear.
Lubricate the socket at the end of the guide bar using a
grease syringe in the lubricating hole.
Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes
and chain groove are free from impurities.
A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced
immediately:
Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain to lay
over sideways
Bent guide bar
Cracked or broken rails
Spread rails
Chain specifications: 3/8 in. pitch, low profile narrow kerf, .050 in. chain gauge, 6-tooth drive sprocket.
