56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW — CS1610/CS1610-FC44
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
When the guide bar shows signs of wear,
disassemble it from the chain saw power
head and reverse it for reassembly
(Fig. 37). This way the wear will be
distributed to maximize the guide bar life.
The bar should be cleaned (including bar
rails and lubricating hole) every day of use
and checked for wear and damage (Fig.
38). Feathering or burring of the bar rails
is a normal process of bar wear. Such
faults should be smoothed with a file as
soon as they occur. A bar with any of the
following faults should be replaced (see
chapter “REPLACING THE BAR AND
CHAIN” in this manual):
◾
Wear inside the bar rails which
permits the chain to lay over
sideways.
◾
Bent guide bar.
◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾
Spread rails.
The guide bar has a sprocket at its tip. The
sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a
grease syringe to extend the guide bar life
(Fig. 39 and 40). Turn the nose sprocket
while pumping the translucent yellow,
translucent red or colorless translucent
grease into the lubricating hole until the
entire sprocket has new grease. Do not
push dirt into the hole.
