Conditions
which require 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

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.

• Disconnect
the chain saw from the
