Care and maintenance
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 the
product starting. Your product is equipped with an automatic
oiling system.
> Check the drive sprocket (20). If it is
worn or damaged due to strain, have
it replaced by an authorised service
agent.
> Clear residue from the rails on the
guide bar (5) using a screwdriver,
putty knife, wire brush or other similar
tool. This will keep the oil passages
open to provide proper lubrication to
the bar (5) and chain (4) (Fig. 38).
> Check the guide bar ‘rail’ for wear:
Hold a ruler (straight edge) against
the side of the guide bar and ‘cutter
side plates’. If there is a gap between
the ruler and guide bar the guide bar ‘rail’ is normal. If there is no
gap (ruler flush against the side of the guide bar) the guide bar ‘rail’
is worn and needs to be replaced with a new one of the same
type (Fig. 39).
> Turn the guide bar 180° to allow even wear, thereby extending
the life span of the guide bar (5).
> Check the saw chain for possible wear and damages. Replace it
with a new one if required. Experienced users can sharpen a dull
saw chain (see section “Saw chain sharpening” below).
> Refit the saw chain (4) and the guide bar (5) as described under
“Assembly”.

Saw chain sharpening
NOTE: Never saw with a blunt chain. The saw chain is blunt
if you have to push the product into the tree and the chips
are very small.
