◾
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.
