See Figure 53.

■ CORRECT 80° – Produced automatically if you use

the correct diameter file in the file holder.

■ HOOK – “Grabs” and dulls quickly; increases the

potential of KICKBACK. Results from using a file with

a diameter too small or a file held too low.

■ BACKWARD SLOPE – Needs too much feed

pressure; causes excessive wear to the bar and

chain. Results from using a file with a diameter too

large or file held too high.

CLEARANCE

See Figure 54 - 56.

■ Maintain the depth gauge at a clearance of .025 in.

Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge

clearances.

■ Every time the chain is filed, check the depth gauge

clearance.

■ Use a flat file and a depth gauge jointer to lower

all gauges uniformly. Use a .025 in. depth gauge

jointer. After lowering each depth gauge, restore

original shape by rounding the front. Be careful not to

damage adjoining drive links with the edge of the file.

■ Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in the

same direction the adjoining cutter was filed with the

round file. Use care not to contact cutter face with flat

file when adjusting depth gauges.

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR

See Figure 57.



Check that the switch is in the STOP “0” position

before you work on the saw.

Every week of use, turn over the guide bar on the saw to

distribute the wear for maximum 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 that permits the chain to lay

over sideways

■ Bent guide bar

■ Cracked or broken rails

■ Spread rails

Lubricate guide bar sprockets weekly. Using a grease

syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating hole. Turn the

guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain

groove are free from impurities.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

See Figures 58 - 59.

■ Activate the chain brake.

■ Remove the two screws holding the Engine cover.

■ Lift the front of the Engine cover past chain brake

lever.

■ Lift the back of the Engine cover past the handle.

■ Before removing the air filter from the carburettor,

blow or brush as much loose dirt and sawdust from

around the carburettor and chamber as possible.

 Make sure to pull the choke rod out to keep the

carburettor from being contaminated.

■ Lift the air filter off the air filter base.

■ To lightly clean, tap the filter against a smooth, flat

surface to dislodge most saw dust and dirt particles.

■ After every 5 hours of operation, clean in warm soapy

water, rinse, and let dry completely. Replace with a

new filter after every 25 hours of use.

An alternate method is to clean the filter with

compressed air. Always wear eye protection to avoid

eye injury.

■ Reinstall the air filter.

 If you use an air hose for drying, blow through

both sides of filter.



Make sure the air filter is correctly replaced

before reassembly. Never run the engine without

the air filter, serious damage could result.

CLEANING THE STARTER UNIT

See Figure 60.

Use a brush to keep the cooling vents of the starter

assembly free and clean of debris.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR

See Figure 61.

■ Use a brush to clean the starter cover vents.

■ Clean the air filter. Refer to Cleaning the Air Filter in

the Maintenance section of this manual.

■ Allow the engine to warm up prior to adjustment of

engine idle speed.



Weather conditions and altitude may affect

carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to the

chainsaw while adjusting the carburettor.

Idle Speed Adjustment - The idle speed adjustment

controls how much the throttle valve stays open when the

throttle trigger is released. To adjust:

■ Turn idle speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle

speed.

■ Turn idle speed screw “T” counter clockwise to

decrease idle speed.
