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. I.)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly.
Conditions which require chain and 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 difcult.
After each use, remove the battery pack, and clean all sawdust from the guide bar and
sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a at le to restore square edges and sides.
