CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS

A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull chain makes a sawdust powder and cuts slowly. See CHAIN SHARPENING in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section.

BAR MAINTENANCE

If your pruner cuts to one side, has to be forced through the cut, or been run with an im- proper amount of bar lubrication it may be necessary to service your bar. A worn bar will damage your chain and make cutting difficult. After each use, ensure ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, then clean all sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

SMove ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and disconnect spark plug (or disconnect powerhead from power source).

S Loosen and remove bar clamp nut and chain brake. Remove bar and chain from pruner.

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