CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use a flat file and a depth-gauge jointer (both
available separately) to lower all gauges uniformly
(Fig. 13h). Use a 0.025 in. (0.6 mm) depth-gauge
jointer.
Depth-gauges must be adjusted with the flat file
in the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed
with the round file. Use care not to contact the
cutter face with the flat file when adjusting depth
gauges.
14. Guide Bar Maintenance
The bar should be cleaned every day of use and
checked for wear and damage. Feathering or
burring of the bar rails is a normal process of bar
wear. Such faults should be smoothed with a file as
soon as they occur. A bar with any of the following
faults should be replaced:
• Wear inside the bar rails that permits the saw
chain to lay over sideways.
• Bent guide bar.
• Cracked or broken rails.
• Spread rails.
In addition, the guide bar has a sprocket at its tip.
The sprocket must be lubricated weekly with a
grease syringe to extend the guide bar life. Use a
grease syringe to lubricate weekly with chain oil by means of the lubricating hole (Fig. 14) on
each side of the bar. Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain groove
are free from impurities.
When the guide bar shows signs of wear, reverse it on the saw to distribute the wear for
maximum bar life.
a. Remove the guide bar and chain from the pruning saw, following the section "Replacing
the Bar and Chain".
b. Turn the guide bar over. The bottom of the bar will be on the top (Fig. 14).
c. Adjust the chain tension, following the section: "Adjusting the Chain Tension".
15. Transporting and Storing
• Do not store or transport the pruning saw when it is running. Always remove the battery
pack before storing or transporting.
• Always place the chain sheath (L) on the guide bar and chain before storing or transporting
the pruning saw. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the chain.
• Clean the pruning saw thoroughly before storing. Store the saw indoors, in a dry place that
is locked and/or inaccessible to children.
• Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
