The warranty on this unit does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must main- tain unit as instructed in this manual. Various adjustments will need to be made periodical- ly to properly maintain your unit.

SOnce a year, replace the spark plug, air filter, and check guide bar and chain for wear. A new spark plug and air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture and helps your engine run better and last longer.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR

WORN PARTS

SBar Nuts S Chain

S Muffler

S Cylinder Shield S Air Filter

S Handle Screws S Vibration Mounts S Starter Housing S Front Hand Guard

CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS

A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull chain makes a sawdust powder and cuts slowly. See CHAIN SHARPENING.

CHECK GUIDE BAR

Conditions which require guide bar mainte- nance:

SSaw cuts to one side or at an angle. S Saw has to be forced through the cut. S Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.

Check the condition of guide bar each time chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the chain and make cutting difficult. After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

S Move ON/STOP switch to STOP.

S Loosen and remove bar nuts and clutch cover. Remove bar and chain from saw.
