MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to 

damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their 

use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc., firmly to maintain 

control.

•  Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, 

penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, 
weaken, or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.

LUBRICATION

•  All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of 

high grade lubricant for  the life of the unit under normal operating  conditions. 

Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

•      When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may 

create a hazard or cause product damage.

•      Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool 

operation or when blowing dust. If the operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

W A R N I N G      

                                                                                                                                        

W A R N I N G

                                                                                                                                           

Never start the motor before installing the guide bar, chain, chain cover, and chain 

cover lock knob. Without all these parts in place, the clutch can fly off or explode, 

exposing the user to possible serious injury.

•     To avoid serious personal injury, read and understand all the safety instructions in 

this section.

•     Before performing any maintenance, make sure the battery is removed. Failure to 

heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

W A R N I N G

                                                                                                                                           

Always wear gloves when handling the bar and chain; these components are sharp and 

may contain burrs.

Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp; 

always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain to avoid 

possible serious lacerations.

NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, always use the specified bar and chain 

listed in the bar and chain combinations section later in this manual.
