cleaned before storing the tool or if the bar or
chain appear to be dirty.
The rails should be cleaned every time the
chain is removed.
To clean the Bar rails:
1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain.
(see section ASSEMBLY)
2. Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar
tool, clear the residue from the inner
groove of the bar (See Fig. Q).
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly
Conditions which require Chain (7) and
Guide Bar (6) maintenance:
•
Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
•
Saw has to be forced through the cut.
•
Inadequate supply of oil to the bar and chain.
Check the condition of the guide bar each time
the chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will
damage the chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, with unit disconnected from
power source, clean all sawdust from the
guide bar and sprocket hole.
When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to
restore square edges and sides.

Worn Groove
Replace the guide bar when the groove is
worn, the guide bar is bent or cracked, or when
excess heating or burring of the rails occurs. If
replacement is necessary, use only the guide
bar specified for your saw in the repair parts list
or on the decal located on the chain saw.
Replacing Bar & Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn
to sharpen or when chain stops. Only use
replacement chain noted in this manual.
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.
Fit the Bar Tensioning Plate (23) Tab into the
new bar by tightening the screw clockwise.
The tab protrusion (a) must be fitted into the
bar hole. (See Fig R)

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
power source before servicing.
Severe injury or death could occur from
electrical shock or body contact with
moving chain.
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and
more safely. A dull chain will cause undue
sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor wear. If
you must force chain into wood and cutting
creates only sawdust with few large chips,
chain is dull.
LUBRICATE SPROCKET
WARNING: Wear heavy duty gloves
when performing any maintenance
or service to this tool. Always unplug the
tool before performing any service or
maintenance on this tool.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the
chain or bar when lubricating the guide bar
sprocket.
1. Clean the bar and sprocket
2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the
gun into the lubrication hole and inject
grease until it appears at the outside edge
of the sprocket tip (See Fig. S).
3. To rotate the sprocket pull the chain by
hand until the ungreased side of the
sprocket is in line with the grease hole.
Repeat the lubrication procedure.
