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 neces-

sary to service your bar. A worn bar will dam- age your 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:

SMove ON/STOP switch to the STOP posi-

tion.

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

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