MAINTENANCE

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR

See Figure 47.

WARNING:

Before performing any maintenance, make sure the chain has stopped moving and the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury.

Every week of use, reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked for wear and damage.

Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal pro- cess of bar wear. Such faults should be smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.

A bar with any of the following faults should be replaced:

nWear inside the bar rails that permits the chain to lay over sideways

nBent guide bar

nCracked or broken rails

nSpread rails

Lubricate guide bars weekly with a sprocket at their tip. Using a grease syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating hole. Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from impurities.

MOUNTING THE SAFE-T-TIP®NOSE GUARD

nDisconnect chain saw from power supply.

nMount the SAFE-T-TIP on the bar nose.

nFit the locking rivet or tab in the recessed hole in the guide bar.

nTighten the screw with wrench until snug.

nFrom the snug position, tighten the screw an additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
