NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be easily
checked. If the passages are clear, the chain will
automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of
the product starting. Your product is equipped with an
automatic oiling system.
> Check the drive sprocket (22). If it is worn or damaged due to
strain, have it replaced by an authorised service agent.
> Clear residue from the rails on the guide bar (4) using a
screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush or other similar tool. This will
keep the oil passages open to provide proper lubrication to the
bar (4) and chain (3) (Fig. 48).
> Check the guide bar ‘rail’ for wear:
Hold a ruler (straight edge) against
the side of the guide bar and ‘cutter
side plates’. If there is a not gap
between the ruler and guide bar the
guide bar ‘rail’ is normal. If there is
a gap (ruler ush against the side of
the guide bar) the guide bar ‘rail’ is
worn and needs to be replaced with
a new one of the same type (Fig.
49).
> Turn the guide bar 180° to allow
even wear, thereby extending the
life span of the guide bar (4).
> Check the saw chain for possible
wear and damages. Replace it with
a new one if required. Experienced
users can sharpen a dull saw
chain (see section “Saw chain
sharpening” below).
> Ret the saw chain (3) and the
guide bar (4) as described under
“Assembly”.
