MAINTENANCE OF THE GUIDE BAR
ATTENTION: Proper maintenance of the guide bar is essential for the good performance of your
tool.
Incorrect placement and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge adjustments cause most guide bar problems, resulting
in uneven wear of the bar. As the bar wears unevenly, the rails widen, which can cause the chain to make noise
and difficulty in making straight cuts. Insufficient lubrication of the guide bar and operation of the saw with a chain
that is too tight will contribute to rapid wear of the bar. To help minimize bar wear, maintenance of the guide bar is
recommended.
BAR WEAR
Rotate the guide bar frequently at regular intervals (such as after 5 hours of use) to ensure even wear on the top and
bottom of the bar.
BAR GROOVES
The bar grooves (or the rails that support and transport the chain) should be cleaned if the tool has been heavily used
or if the saw chain appears dirty. The rails should be cleaned each time the chain is removed from the saw.
TO CLEAN THE GUIDE BAR RAILS
1. Remove the sprocket cover, bar and chain. See Replacing / Installing the Saw Chain.
2. Use a screwdriver, spatula, wire brush, or similar instrument to clean debris from the rails on the guide bar.
This will keep the oil lines open to provide proper lubrication to the bar and chain.
3. Reinstall the bar, chain and bar bolt retaining nuts. See Replace saw chain / Installation.
OIL LINES
The oil lines in the bar pad must be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation. This
can be done using a soft wire small enough to be inserted into the oil drain hole.
