USING THE CHAINSAW (cont.)
14
Guide Bar
The guide bar (7) should be checked and cleaned of saw chips and dust after each use,
clean the groove in the guide bar (7) and add oil to the oil holes at the drive sprocket
end of the guide bar (7).
Burring of the guide bar rails is normal wear
and tear and can be removed with a flat file.
If the top rail of the guide bar (7) is uneven,
use a flat file to restore them to the same
height (Fig. 10).
The bottom edge of the guide bar (7) is
exposed to heavy wear so it should be turned over when replacing the chain (6).
Ensure that you follow the instructions in the "Fitting the Guide Bar and Chain" section
on page 9 to refit the guide bar (7) and chain (6) to the Chainsaw.
