As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which may cause
chain clatter and difficulty in making straight cuts. Insufficient
guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with a chain that is
too tight will contribute to rapid bar wear (see Section Chain
maintenance instructions). To help minimize bar wear, the
following guide bar maintenance is recommended.
Bar wear
Turn guide bar frequently at regular intervals (for example, after
5 hours of use), to ensure even wear on top and bottom of bar.
Bar grooves
Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should
be cleaned if the saw has been heavily used or if the saw chain
appears dirty. Rails should always be cleaned every time the saw
chain is removed.
oil passages
Oil passages at bar pad should be cleaned to ensure proper
lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. This can be
done using a soft wire small enough to insert into the oil
discharge hole.
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 starting the saw. Your saw is
equipped with an automatic oiler system.
chain maintenance instructions
Warning! Unless you have experience and specialized
training for dealing with kickback (see Safety
Precautions), always use a low-kickback saw chain,
which significantly reduces the danger of kickback.
Low-kickback saw chain does not completely eliminate
kickback. A low-kickback or “safety chain”, should
never be regarded as total protection against injury.
