BAR MAINTENANCE

If your saw cuts to one side, has to be forced through the cut, or been run with an improper amount of bar lubrication it may be necessary to service your bar. A worn bar will damage your chain and make cutting difficult.

To maintain guide bar:

SMove ON/STOP switch to the STOP posi-

tion.

SLoosen and remove chain brake nuts and chain brake. Remove bar and chain from
