Injecting grease to lubricate
J
Replace the guide bar when the groove is worn, the guide bar is bent or cracked, or when
excessive heating or burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary, use only
the guide bar specified for your saw in the repair parts list or on the decal located on the
chainsaw.
Replacing Bar and Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain stops. Only use
replacement chain noted in this manual.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn
or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
Sharpening the Saw Chain
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue
sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood, and cutting
creates only sawdust with few large chips, the chain is dull.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar when lubricating the guide bar sprocket.
1. Clean the bar and sprocket.
2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into the lubrication hole and inject grease
until it appears at the outside edge of the sprocket tip. (see Fig. J.)
3. To rotate the sprocket, pull the chain by hand until the ungreased side of the sprocket is
in line with the grease hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.
WARNING! Remove the battery pack before servicing. Severe
injury or death could occur from electric shock or body contact
with moving chain.
WARNING: Wear heavy-duty gloves when performing any
maintenance or service to this tool.
Always remove the battery pack before performing any service or
maintenance on this tool.
