5. 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 gap between the
ruler and guide bar the guide bar ‘rail’ is normal. If there is no 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. 41).

new one if required. Experienced user can sharpen a dull saw chain (see
section “Saw chain sharpening” below).

Saw chain sharpening
NOTE:
Never saw with a blunt chain. The saw chain is blunt if you
have to push the product into the tree and the chips are very small.
1. Have the saw chain (11) sharpened professionally at an authorised service
centre or sharpen the chain yourself by using a proper sharpening kit. Also
observe the sharpening instructions supplied with the sharpening kit.
