File Rail 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 Tab into the new bar by tightening the screw clockwise. The tab protrusion (a) must
be fitted into the bar hole. (See Fig. N)
SHARPENING SAW CHAIN
WARNING: Remove the battery pack 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.
