Replacing/changing Saw chain and Guide bar
1. Check the condition of the saw chain and
its mounting at regular intervals.
a. If the saw chain is worn or blunt it must be
replaced or sharpened immediately;
b. If the Pole Saw starts to suffer from excessive
vibrations, this means that the saw chain or
guide bar has not been balanced correctly or
has suffered deformation due to impacts. In
this case it must be repaired or replaced.
c. Assemble the chain and guide bar as
described in “Saw Chain Assembly and
Tensioning” sections on pages 6 and 7.
2. Over time, the circular groove of the guide
bar will show wear on the lower edge. When
replacing the chain, turn the chain bar 180° to
allow even wear, extending chain bar life.
3. If the guide bar is worn out or damaged,
replace it with an identical guide bar.
