Maintaining the guide bar
Every week of use, reverse 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

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

their tip. 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.
