MAINTENANCE
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
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 nor-
mal process of bar wear. Such faults should be
smoothed with a file 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.
Lubricate guide bars with a sprocket at their tip
weekly. 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.

SCABBARD
STORING THE PRODUCT
See Figure 27.
Clean all foreign material from the product. Store
idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area
that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts.
Always place the scabbard on the saw bar
when transporting or storing the pole saw. The
scabbard is a snug fit and must be attached
very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the
saw chain. This is best done by grasping the
scabbard at one end, in the center portion of
the scabbard, and carefully sliding it over the
chain as shown. Use caution to avoid the sharp
teeth of the chain.
NOTE: The saw chain is very sharp. Always
wear protective gloves when handling the chain.
