MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR
See Figure 46.
CAUTION:
Make sure the chain has stopped and the tool
is unplugged from the power supply before you
do any work on the saw.
Proper maintenance will maximize the useful life
of the guide bar.
Each day of use:
Clean the bar and check for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal
process of bar wear, but such faults should be
smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.
Each week of use:
 Reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute
the wear.
 Lubricate the socket at the end of the guide bar
using a grease syringe in the lubricating hole.
 Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication
holes and chain groove are free from impurities.
A bar with any of the following faults should be
replaced immediately:
 Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain
to lay over sideways
 Bent guide bar
 Cracked or broken rails
 Spread rails
MOUNTING THE SAFE-T-TIP NOSE
GUARD
See Figures 47 - 48.
 Disconnect chain saw from power supply.
 Mount the SAFE-T-TIP on the bar nose.
 Fit the locking rivet or tab in the recessed hole
in the guide bar.
 Tighten the screw with wrench until snug.
 From the snug position, tighten the screw an
additional 3/4 of a turn using a wrench.
 Check the security of the SAFE-T-TIP nose
guard and its mounting screw before each use
of the chain saw.

Although the guide bar comes with a SAFE-T-
TIP antikickback device already installed, check
the tightness of the mounting screw before each
use to avoid possible serious personal injury.
Use the following instructions to tighten the mount-
ing screw of the nose guard. These are specially
hardened screws. If you cannot install the screw
tightly, replace both the screw and the SAFE-T-TIP
before further operation.
