MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR
See Figure 44.
CAUTION:
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw and
make sure the chain has stopped before you do
any work on the saw. Failure to do so may result
in accidental starting and possible serious injury.
Proper maintenance will maximize the useful life
of the guide bar.
Each day of use:
Clean the bar and check for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal
process of bar wear, but such faults should be
smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.
Each week of use:
Reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute
the wear.
Lubricate the socket at the end of the guide bar
using a grease syringe in the lubricating hole.
Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication
holes and chain groove are free from impurities.
A bar with any of the following faults should be
replaced immediately:
Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain
to lay over sideways
Bent guide bar
Cracked or broken rails
Spread rails
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
See Figure 45.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack before trans-
porting or storing chain saw. Place battery pack
indoors in a dry, secure location out of the reach
of children when storing. Failure to follow these
instructions may lead to accidental starting or
unauthorized use and result in serious personal
injury.

of the chain.
Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing.
Store the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that
is locked and/or inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as gar-
den chemicals and de-icing salts.
