bottom of bar.
BAR GROOVES - The bar grooves (or rails that support and carry
the chain) should be cleaned if the chainsaw has been heavily
used or if the saw chain appears dirty. The rails should be cleaned
every time the saw chain is removed.
OIL PASSAGES - The oil passages at the bar pad should be
cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during
operation. This can be done using a soft wire small enough to
insert into the oil discharge hole.
NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If
the passages are clear, the chain will automatically give off a
spray of oil within seconds of starting the chainsaw. Your
chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oiler system
• CHAIN MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Unless you have experience and specialised training for dealing
with
kickback
low-kickback saw chain, which will significantly reduce the danger
of kickback. Low-kickback saw chain does not completely
eliminate kickback. A low-kickback or 'safety' chain, should never
be regarded as total protection against injury.
A low-kickback saw chain should always be used in conjunction
with other kickback protection devices such as the chain brake /
hand guard on your chainsaw. Always use a replacement saw
chain designed as 'low kickback' or a saw chain that delivers
low-kickback performance.
A standard
kickback-reducing guard links) should only be used by an
experienced professional chainsaw operator.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves during
maintenance operations. Do not carry out maintenance
when the engine is hot.
