Cleaning the guide bar
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove.
They may clog the bar groove and impair the oil flow.
Clean out the chips and sawdust every time when you
sharpen or replace the saw chain.
Cleaning the sprocket cover
Chips and saw dust will accumulate inside of the
sprocket cover. Remove the sprocket cover and saw
chain from the tool then clean the chips and saw dust.
Cleaning the oil discharge hole
Small dust or particles may be built up in the oil dis-
charge hole during operation. These dust or particles
may impair the oil to flow and cause an insufficient
lubrication on the whole saw chain. When a poor chain
oil delivery occurs at the top of guide bar, clean the oil
discharge hole as follows.
1.
Remove the sprocket cover and saw chain from
the tool.
2. Remove the small dust or particles using a slotted
screwdriver with a slender shaft or the like.
