6b. Lubricating the Sprocket Tips
WARNING!
Always wear suitable gloves when operating chainsaw to protect your hands from flying debris and/
or sharp objects. It is particularly important to wear protective gloves when assembling or maintaining the saw
chain.
CAUTION!
Although the guide bar is pre-lubricated at the factory, it is essential that you regularly lubricate the
guide bar in accordance with maintenance schedule. Failure to observe this caution will inhibit the performance
of the chainsaw and may void your warranty.
NOTE!
To lubricate the guide bar you will need a suitable grease gun with a long thin needle nose
(not supplied). This is not supplied with the chainsaw and must be sourced from a suitable supplier.
NOTE!
The guide bar sprocket tips can be lubricated without disassembling the chainsaw.
Using a wire brush, remove any debris from both the saw chain
and guide bar
.
Insert the nose of the grease gun
into the upper lubricating hole of the guide bar
. Pump grease into the
lubricating hole until excess grease appears on the edge of the sprocket tip.
Using a gloved hand, slowly rotate the saw chain until the next sprocket tip is exposed.
Repeat the greasing procedure described above. Keep rotating and greasing the sprocket tips until they
are all
fully greased.
