CHECKCHAINSHARPNESS
A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull
chain makes a sawdust powder and
cuts slowly. See CHAIN SHARPENINGin
the SERVICEAND ADJUSTMENTSsec-
tion.
CHECK GUIDE BAR
Conditions which require guide bar
maintenance:
• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the
cut.
• Inadequate supply of oil to the bar
and chain.
Check the condition of the guide bar be-
fore each use and each time the chain
is sharpened. A worn guide bar will
damage the chain and make cutting diffi-
cult.
After each use, with unit disconnected
from power source, clean all sawdust
from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
To maintain guide bar:
• Disconnect the chain saw from the
power source.
• Loosen and remove bar clamp nuts
and bar clamp. Remove bar and
chain from saw.
• Clean the oil holes and bar groove
after each 5 hours of operation.

• Burring of guide bar rails is a normal
process of rail wear. Remove these
burrs with a flat file.
• When rail top is uneven, use a flat
file to restore square edges and
sides.
