•do not use chlorinated cleaning solvents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene, or gasoline

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth damp- ened with a mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.

Care of Guide Bar

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar prob- lems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 30). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
