DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION!
Always disconnect the power before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Here are a few general instructions for maintaining your hand-
saw. If you are in doubt on any of these points, contact your
service dealer.
1. Inspect power cable and plug for defects.
A damaged power cable or plug must be replaced.
2. Clean ventilation openings and keep them open.
3. Check automatic chain lubrication.
4. Turn guide bar over at regular intervals to distribute the
wear on both sides. Check to see that the oil passage is
clear. Clean the guide bar groove.
5. Check chain tension, sharpen the cutters and ensure that
chain turns easily.
6. Check drive sprocket for abnormal wear, replacing it if
necessary.
7. Remove any burrs from the edges of the guide bar
