4. CHECK GUIDE BAR (Fig. Y1 & Y2)
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 bar/chain.
Check the condition of guide bar each time chain is
sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the chain and
make cutting difficult. After each use, ensure Ignition
switch is in the ”O” position, then clean all sawdust
from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
To maintain guide bar:
•
Move Ignition switch to ”O”.
• Loosen and remove Chain bar locking nuts (8) and
clutch cover(22). Remove bar and chain from
saw.
• Clean the oil holes and bar groove after each 5
hours of operation.
• Burring of guide bar rails is a normal process of
rail wear. Remove these burrs with a flat file.
• When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to
restore square edges and sides.
Replace 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.
5. CHECK FUEL MIXTURE LEVEL
See FUELING and REFULING ENGINE under the
OPERATION section.
6. CHECK CHAINSAW LUBRICATION
• Start the Chainsaw
• Hold the running chainsaw approx 15cm above a
trunk or the ground(use appropriate base)
• If the lubrication is sufficient ,you will see a light oil
trace because oil will be flung off the saw
NB If No oil trace is seen check chain Oil reservoir and
clean the chainsaw from debris/dirt.
7. INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND
DECALS
• After each use, inspect complete unit for loose or
damaged parts. Clean the unit and decals using a
damp cloth with a mild detergent.
• Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.
8. CHECK CHAIN BRAKE
