The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is
removed.
To clean the Bar rails:
1. Remove chain cover and 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.
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
18
decal located on the Chainsaw.
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. S)
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. Always remove the battery pack before
performing any service or maintenance on this tool.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar when
lubricating the guide bar sprocket.

2. Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into the
lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at the
outside edge of the sprocket tip. (See Fig. T)
3. To rotate the sprocket pull the chain by hand until the
ungreased side of the sprocket is in line with the grease
hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.
