GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

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

Contact an authorized service dealer for re- placement of damaged or worn parts.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of oil to appear under the saw after engine stops. Do not confuse this with a leaking oil tank.

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.

S Clean the oil holes and bar groove after each 5 hours of operation.
