GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN MAINTENANCE
1. GUIDE BAR
Most guide bar problems can be prevented
merely by keeping the product well maintained.
Incorrect filling and non-standard cutter and
depth gauge settings are the causes of most
guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven
bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the
rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter
and make it difficult to complete straight cuts.
If the guide bar is insufficiently lubricated and
the product is operated with a saw chain which
is too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear.
To help minimise bar wear, maintenance of
the guide bar as well as the saw chain is
recommended.
1). Disassemble the guide bar and saw chain in
reversed order from assembly.
2). Check the oiling port (B14) for clogging and
clean if necessary to ensure proper lubrication
of the guide bar and saw chain during operation.
Use a soft wire small enough to insert into the
oil discharge hole. (See Fig. 18a)
