Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in the same direction the adjoining
cutter was filed with the round file. Use care not to contact cutter face with flat file
when adjusting depth gauges.
MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR
See Figure 57.
Check that the switch is in the “Stop” (0) position on the saw.
In every week of use, turn over the guide bar on the saw to distribute the wear for
maximum bar life. The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked for
wear and damage. Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar
wear. Such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.
A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced:
Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain to lay over sideways
Bent guide bar
Cracked or broken rails
Spread rails
Lubricate guide bar sprockets weekly. Using a grease syringe, lubricate weekly in
the lubricating hole. Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and
chain groove are free from impurities.
