Care and maintenance
Maintenance
Before and after each use, check the product and accessories (or
attachments) for wear and damage. If required, exchange them
for new ones as described in this instruction manual. Observe the
technical requirements.
Guide bar and saw chain
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the
product well maintained. Incorrect lling and non-standard cutter and
depth gauge settings are the causes of most guide bar problems,
primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly,
the rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter and make it
di󰀩cult to complete straight cuts. If the guide bar is insu󰀩ciently
lubricated and the product is operated with a saw chain which is
too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear. To help minimise
bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar as well as the saw chain is
recommended.
1. Clean the sprocket wheel(5).
2. Using a disposable lubricating gun, insert the nose of the needle
into the lubrication hole (D) and inject grease until it appears on
the outside edge of the sprocket (Fig. 38).
3. Make sure that the chain brake (2) is disengaged. Rotate the
saw chain (2) by hand. Repeat the lubrication procedure until the
entire sprocket has been greased.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain (3) to
lubricate the sprocket wheel(5). Lubrication can be done on
the job.
