GUIDEBARS
• The bar is designed to be used on both sides. If the cut is consistently
leading to one side, turn the bar over to expose a new set of rails.
• A table mounted belt or disc sander can be used to square the rails of a
worn bar. A badly worn bar can quickly damage an expensive chain. If
the chain is touching the bottom of the bar groove, replace the bar.
• Check the guidebar for straightness.
• Proper chain tension will extend bar life. .
• Under some circumstances, especially low water pressure, the
sprocket nose can wear out before the guidebar body. Sprocket nose
replacement kits may be purchased from an Authorized Dealer.
• Spray the chain and bar with lightweight oil for storage.
• Store bar with the sprocket nose up.
• Periodically clean the water ports inside the groove of the bar using a
small diameter piece of wire.
• The bar is solely a guide track for the chain. Never use the bar to lift,
twist or pry concrete material.
