Guide bar 

• Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial 

wear. 
• The bar rail should always be a square. Check for 

wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the 

outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between 

them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is 

worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
