chain is removed.
Turn the bar over, top rail becoming bottom
and bottom rail becoming top, around every 5
hours of use.

1. Remove chain cover and bar and chain.
(see section ASSEMBLY)

• 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.

restore square edges and sides.
