Bar Maintenance
To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance is
recommended.
The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned
before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear to
be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is
removed.
To clean the Bar rails.
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain. (see
section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool,
clear the residue from the inner groove of the bar.
(See Fig. P)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly.
Conditions which require Chain (1) and Guide Bar (7)
maintenance:
• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the cut.
• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.
Check the condition of the Guide Bar each time the
chain is sharpened. A worn Guide Bar will damage the
chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, remove the battery pack, clean all
sawdust from the Guide Bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore
square edges and sides.
File Rail Edges
and Sides
Square
Worn Groove Correct Groove
Replace the Guide Bar when the groove is worn, the
Guide Bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating or
burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary,
use only the Guide Bar specified for your saw in the
repair parts list or on the decal located on the pole saw.
Replacing Bar & Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or
when chain stops. Only use replacement chain noted
in this manual.
Inspect Guide Bar before sharpening chain. A worn
or damaged Guide Bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged
Guide Bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting
harder.
Fit the Bar Tensioning Plate (27) Tab into the new bar
by tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion
(a) must be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig. Q)
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
Remove the battery pack before
servicing. Severe injury or death could
occur from electrical shock or body contact
with moving chain.
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more
safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, Guide
Bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain
into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with few
large chips, chain is dull.
