5. Check the guide bar “rail” for wear: Hold a ruler (straight edge) against the side of
the guide bar (2) and “cutter side plates”. If there is a gap between the ruler and
guide bar (2) the guide bar “rail” is normal. If there is no gap (ruler flush against the
side of the guide bar (2)) the guide bar “rail” is worn and needs to be replaced with
a new one of the same type (Fig. 42).

one if required. Experienced user can sharpen a dull saw chain (see section
