8. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar
1. Saw Chain
WARNING!
!
It is very important for
smooth and safe operation to always keep
the cutters sharp.
The cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
• You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut path does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.

WARNING!
!
Be sure to wear safety
gloves.
Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for the chain
(see "Chain maintenance table").
Place the file on the cutter and push straight for-
ward.
Keep the file position as illustrated.
After each cutter has been filed, check the depth
gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated.
WARNING!
!
Be sure to round off the
front edge to reduce the chance of kickback
or tie-strap breakage.

Make sure every cutter has the same length and
edge angles as illustrated.
2. Guide Bar
• Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial
wear.
• The bar rail should always be square.
Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the
bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is
observed between them, the rail is normal.
Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs
to be corrected or replaced.
