SAW MAINTENANCE AND
KICKBACK SAFETY
Follow maintenance instructions in this
manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain and
guide bar maintenance can reduce chances of
kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after each
use. This will increase the service life of your
saw.
NOTE: Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
MAINTENANCE AND
STORAGE OF CHAIN SAW
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard .
1. Unplug chain saw from power source
• When not in use
• Before moving from one place to another
• Before servicing
• Before changing accessories or
attachments, such as saw chain and guard
2. Inspect chain saw before and after
each use.
Check saw closely if guard or other part
has been damaged. Check for any damage
that may affect operator safety or operation
of saw. Check for alignment or binding of
moving parts. Check for broken or damaged
parts. Do not use chain saw if damage affects
safety or operation. Have damage repaired
by authorized service center. To locate an
authorized service center, visit

3. Maintain chain saw with care.
• Never expose saw to rain.
• Keep chain sharp, clean, and lubricated for
better and safer performance.
• Follow steps outlined in this manual to
sharpen chain.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free of oil and
grease.

4. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
5. When not in use, always store chain
saw
• In a high or locked place, out of children’s
reach

Bar Maintenance
To maximize bar life, the following bar
maintenance is recommended.
The bar rails that carry the chain should be
cleaned before storing the tool or if the bar or
chain appear to be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the
chain is removed.
Turn the bar over, top rail becoming bottom
and bottom rail becoming top, around every 5
hours of use.
To clean the Bar rails:
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain.
(see section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar
tool, clear the residue from the inner
groove of the bar (See Fig. M).
3. Make sure to clean oil passages
thoroughly
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 each time
the chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will
damage the chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, with unit disconnected from
power source, clean all sawdust from the
guide bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to
restore square edges and sides.
