Maintaining The Guide Bar - Homelite UT43100 Manuel D'utilisation

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR

See Figure 47.
CAUTION:
Make sure the chain has stopped before you
do any work on the saw.
Every week of use, reverse the guide bar on the
saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life.
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and
checked for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal pro-
cess 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:
 Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain
to lay over sideways
 Bent guide bar
 Cracked or broken rails
 Spread rails
Lubricate guide bars weekly with a sprocket at
their tip. Using a grease syringe, lubricate weekly
in the lubricating hole. Turn the guide bar and
check that the lubrication holes and chain groove
are free from impurities.
MOUNTING THE SAFE-T-TIP NOSE
GUARD
See Figures 48 - 49.
 Disconnect chain saw from power supply.
 Mount the SAFE-T-TIP on the bar nose.
 Fit the locking rivet or tab in the recessed hole
in the guide bar.
 Tighten the screw with wrench until snug.
 From the snug position, tighten the screw an
additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
MAINTAINING THE SAFE-T-TIP NOSE
GUARD
See Figures 47 - 48.
CAUTION:
Make sure the chain saw is disconnected from
the power supply before you do any work on
the saw.
MAINTENANCE
MoUnting
Although the guide bar comes with a SAFE-T-
TIP antikickback device already installed, check
the tightness of the mounting screw before
each use.
Use the following instructions to tighten the mount-
ing screw of the nose guard. These are specially
hardened screws. If you cannot install the screw
tightly, replace both the screw and the SAFE-T-TIP
before further operation.
NOTE: Do not replace the screw with an ordinary
screw. Use only identical replacement parts from
the manufacturer when replacing parts.
