GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it 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 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.
◾ ◾
Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lay over sideways.
◾ ◾
Bent guide bar.
◾ ◾
Cracked or broken rails.
◾ ◾
Spread rails.
In addition, 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. Use a grease syringe to
lubricate weekly with chain oil by means
of the lubricating hole (Fig. 26). Turn the
guide bar and check that the lubrication
holes and chain groove are free from
impurities.
Reversing The Guide Bar
1. Remove the guide bar and chain
from the pole saw, following the
"REPLACING THE BAR AND
CHAIN" section.
2. Remove the chain from the guide
bar and turn the guide bar over
(Fig. 27). The bottom of the bar will
be on the top.
3. Replace the chain on the bar.
4. Reassemble the guide bar and chain on the pole saw and adjust the chain
tension, following the "REPLACING THE BAR AND CHAIN" and "ADJUSTING
THE CHAIN TENSION" sections.
