MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Do not replace the screw with an ordinary
screw. Use only identical replacement parts from
the manufacturer when replacing parts.
In addition to preventing chain contact with solid
objects at the nose of the bar, the tip guard also
helps keep the chain away from abrasive surfaces,
such as the ground. Keep it on the right hand side
of the bar where it will be between the chain and
the ground during flush with ground cutting.
The mounting screw requires a 5/16 in. wrench (or
adjustable wrench) to achieve the recommended
torque of 35 to 45 in.lb. A torque within this range
can be achieved by using the following method.
Tighten the screw with wrench until snug.
From the snug position, tighten the screw an
additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
Replacing Bar And Chain
See Figures 28 - 34.
WARNING
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw
and make sure the chain has stopped before
you do any work on the saw. Failure to do so
may result in accidental starting and possible
serious injury.
WARNING
The safety instructions in this section are to
protect the user from serious personal injury.
CAUTION
Always wear gloves when handling the bar and
chain; these components are sharp and may
contain burrs.
WARNING
Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor
is running. The saw chain is very sharp; always
wear protective gloves when performing main-
tenance to the chain to avoid possible serious
lacerations.
NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain,
always use the specified bar and chain listed in
the Bar and Chain Combinations section later
in this manual.
Remove the battery pack before you do any
work on the chain saw.
