Guide Bar Maintenance
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, turn it over on the
saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. Feathering or
burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar wear.
You should smooth such faults with a file as soon as they
occur.
Replace a bar with any of the following faults:
• wear inside the bar rails permitting the chain to lay over
sideways
• bent guide bar
• cracked or broken rails
• spread rails
Turn the saw over, check the underside of the guide bar,
and make sure that the lubrication holes and chain groove are
free from impurities.

Chain Sprocket
Regularly check the condition of the sprocket and replace it

Do not mount a new chain with a worn sprocket or vice-versa.
Storage
After every work session, clean the machine thoroughly to
remove all dust and debris and slide the bar sheath over the
cutting bar. Repair or replace any faulty parts on the unit.
Store the machine in a dry, locked place out of the reach
