CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Below are instructions for servicing your chain saw. Any servicing not mentioned below should be done by an authorized service person.
CLEANING SAW BODY
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from power source before servic- ing. Severe injury or death could occur from electrical shock or body contact with moving chain.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.
CARE OF GUIDE BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 17). This causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
