Preventative maintenance
Bar/chain maintenance
1. Keep the air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid
overheating the motor.
2. Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not squirt with a
water hose or douse with water or other liquids.
3. Inspect the saws chain for proper tension before each use and
frequently during cutting.
4. Clean the guide bar and bar pad to ensure a free path for oil.
5. Turn the bar over after each use to achieve even wear.
Proper maintenance of the bar/chain, as explained here, is essential
to keep your saw in good working order.
CAUTION: Place the switch in the OFF position and
remove the battery pack before the appliance is serviced,
cleaned, or maintenance is performed.
WARNING! Before servicing the saw, make sure that the
battery pack is removed.
WARNING! Failure to lubricate the reversing star will
result in poor performance and jamming, and will void
the warranty.
NOTE: No motor lubrication is necessary. The motor is
equipped with lifetime lubricated bearings.
NOTE: If the chainsaw does not operate, turn the switch
to the OFF position and remove the battery pack first. Do
not attempt to repair it yourself.
