GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
See Figure 39.
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse
it 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
process of bar wear. Such faults should be smoothed
withaleassoonastheyoccur.
A bar with any of the following faults should be
replaced.
 Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain
to lay over sideways.
 Bent guide bar.
 Cracked or broken rails.
 Spread rails.
In addition, guide bars with a sprocket at their tip
must be lubricated weekly with a grease syringe to
extend the guide bar life. 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.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
See Figure 40.
 Do not store or transport the chain saw when it
is running. The chain saw should always be idle
before storing or transporting.
 Always place the guide bar cover on the bar and
chain before storing or transporting the chain
saw. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the
chain.
 Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing.
Store the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that
is locked and/or inaccessible to children.
 Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
