NOTE: The saw chain (6) has not yet been tensioned. Tension the chain as described
under “ Saw chain tensioning ”. After operating the product for approx. 30min, adjust
the chain
2. GUIDE BAR
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the product well maintained.
Incorrect filling and non-standard cutter and depth gauge settings are the causes of most
guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the
rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter and make it difficult to complete straight cuts.
If the guide bar is insufficiently lubricated and the product is operated with a saw chain which
is too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear. To help minimise bar wear, maintenance of
the guide bar as well as the saw chain is recommended.
1). Disassemble the guide bar and saw chain in reversed order from assembly.
2). Check the oiling port (14) for clogging and clean if necessary to ensure proper lubrication
of the guide bar and saw chain during operation. Use a soft wire small enough to insert into the
oil discharge hole. (See Fig. 25)

NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If the passages are clear, the
chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of the product starting. Your
product is equipped with an automatic oiling system.
3). Check the drive sprocket (10). If it is worn or damaged due to strain, have it replaced by an
authorised service agent.
4). Clear residue from the rails on the guide bar (7) using a screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush
or other similar tool. This will keep the oil passages open to provide proper lubrication to the
guide bar (7) and saw chain (6). (See Fig. 26)
