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.

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.
