GU(DE BAR MA(NTENANCE
Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (railed bar which
supports and carries the saw chain) sprocket tip is
required. Proper maintenance of the guide bar, as
explained in this section, is essential to keep your saw in
good working condition,

lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip, Lubrication

gun unto the lubrication hole and inject grease until it

4, Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication procedure
until the entire sprocket tip has been greased,
SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBR(CAT(ON
Adequate (ubr(cation of the saw chain (s essential at a((
times to minimize friction with the guide bar,
Never starve the bar and chain of oil, Running the saw
with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten
saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause
excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evi-
denced by smoke, bar discoloration or pitch build-up,
NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use, particularly when
it is new, and it will occasionally be necessary to
adjust and tighten it. New chain will require adjust-
ment after about 5 minutes of operation,
