Care and maintenance
Sprocket wheel
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain (14) to lubricate the sprocket
wheel. Lubrication can be done on the job.
1. Clean the sprocket wheel (15).
2. Using a disposable lube gun, insert the needle nose into the lubrication hole (Fig. 37, A)
and inject grease until it appears at the outside edge of the sprocket (15) (Fig. 37).
3. Rotate the saw chain (14) by hand. Repeat the lubrication procedure until the entire
sprocket (15) has been greased.
Guide bar and saw chain maintenance
Guide bar
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the product well maintained.
Incorrect filling and non-standard cutter and depth gauge settings are the causes of most
guide bar problems, primarily resulting in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly,
the rails widen, which may cause the chain to clatter and make it difficult to complete
straight cuts. If the guide bar is insufficiently lubricated and the product is operated with
a saw chain which is too tight, this will contribute to rapid bar wear. To help minimise bar
wear, maintenance of the guide bar as well as the saw chain is recommended.
1. Disassemble the guide bar and saw chain in reversed order from assembly.
2. Check the oiling port (25) for clogging and clean if necessary to ensure proper
lubrication of the guide bar and saw chain during operation. Use a soft wire small
enough to insert into the oil discharge hole (Fig. 38).
