• Turn the bar over-
every time you sharpen the chain
and every time you replace the
chain - this helps avoid one-sided
wear, especially at the nose and
underside of the bar.
• Regularly clean
the oil inlet hole (1),
the oitway (2) and
the bar groove (3).
• Measure groove depth-
with scale on filing gauge* - in area
used most for cutting.
Chain Pitch Minimum
type groove
depth
Picco 3/8" P 0.20"
(5.0 mm)
Rapid 1/4" O.16"
(4.0 mm)
Rapid 3/8"; 0.325" 0.24"
(6.0 mm)
Rapid 0.404" 0.28"

If groove depth is tess than specified:
• Replace the guide bar.
The drive link tangs wilt otherwise
scrape along the bottom of the groove -
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.
The air filter system can be adapted to
suit different operating conditions by
simply installing a choice of filters.

winter operation.
