Maintenance
WARNING: Make sure the chain has stopped before you do any
work on the saw.
!
Every week of use, reverse the guide bar 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 file as soon as they occur. A bar with any of the following faults should be
replaced:
• Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain to lay over sideways
• Bent guide bar
• Cracked or broken rails
• Spread rails. Lubricate guide bars weekly with a sprocket at their tip. 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 of impurities.
