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 sprocket 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
TRANSPORTING AND STORING

ous personal injury.
 Do not store or transport the pruning saw when it is
running. The pruning saw should always be idle before

 Always place the guide bar scabbard on the bar and
chain before storing or transporting the pruning saw. Use
