The bar should be cleaned (including bar
rails and lubricating hole) every day of use
and checked for wear and damage
(Fig. 40). 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 the section" 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. 41 & 42). Turn the nose sprocket while
pumping grease into the lubricating hole
until the entire sprocket has new grease.
Do not push dirt into the hole.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
◾
Do not store or transport the chain
saw when it is running. Always
remove the battery pack before
storing or transporting.
◾
Always place the guide bar sheath
on the guide bar and chain before storing or transporting the chain saw. Use
caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
◾
Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing. Store the chain saw indoors, in a
dry place that is locked and/or inaccessible to children.
◾
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
