SAW MAINTENANCE AND
KICKBACK SAFETY
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar
maintenance can reduce chances of kickback.
Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This
will increase the service life of your saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF CHAIN SAW
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw
• When not in use.
• Before moving from one place to another
• Before servicing.
• Before changing accessories or attachments,
such as saw chain and guard bar.
2. Inspect chain saw before and after each
use. Check saw closely if guard or other part
has been damaged. Check for any damage
that may affect operator safety or operation
of saw. Check for alignment or binding of
moving parts. Check for broken or damaged
parts. Do not use chain saw if damage affects
safety or operation. Have damage repaired
by authorized service center. To locate an

3. Maintain chain saw with care.
• Never expose saw to rain.
• Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for
better and safer performance.
• Follow steps outlined in this manual to
sharpen chain.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and
grease.
• Keep all screws and nuts tight.
4. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
5. When not in use, always store chain saw
• In a high or locked place, out of children’s
reach.
• In a dry place.
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.
Turn the bar over, top rail becoming bottom
and bottom rail becoming top, around every 5
hours of use.
TO CLEAN THE BAR RAILS:
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain.
(see section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar
suitable tool, clear the residue from the
rails of the bar. (See Fig. V)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages
thoroughly.
CONDITIONS WHICH REQUIRE GUIDE
BAR 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, with unit disconnected from
power source, 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.

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 chain saw.
