The bar rails that carry the chain should be 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 Housing-Cover, 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. R)
3. Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly.
Conditions which require Chain and Guide Bar
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, remove the battery pack, 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 pruning 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.
