MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Remove the battery pack and make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw.

WARNING:

Although the guide bar comes with a SAFE-T- TIP® anti-kickback device already installed, you need to check the tightness of the mounting screw before each use.

SAFE-T-TIP® NOSE GUARD MAINTE- NANCE

See Figures 42 and 43.

Tighten the mounting screw of the nose guard as instructed below. These are specially hardened screws. If the screw cannot be installed tightly, replace both the screw and the SAFE-T-TIP® before further operation. Do not replace with an ordinary screw.

In addition to preventing chain contact with solid objects at the nose of the bar, the SAFE-T-TIP® 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 tightness of 35 to 45 in. lb. (4-5 Nm). A tightness within this range can be achieved by the following method.

1.Tighten the screw with your finger.

2.From the finger-tight position, tighten the screw an additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
