Sharpening/Replacing Saw chain

1. Have the cutters sharpened by a

qualified technician when:
a.  The sawdust becomes powder-like.
b.  You can’t make the cut without extra force.
c.  The Pole Saw does not cut straight.
d.  Vibration increases.

2. A Saw Chain that is damaged or too worn to be

restored by sharpening will need to be replaced.

Replacing Drive Sprocket

Have the Drive Sprocket replaced by a qualified technician when the Saw Chain is replaced.

Determining Guide bar Wear

The rails of the Guide Bar groove should

always be parallel to each other. Place a

ruler along the side of the Guide Bar and

Saw Chain. If there is a gap, the bar is normal.
