BARWEAR
Turn guide bar frequently at regular intervals (for example, alter 5 hours of use), to ensure even wear
on top and bot tom albar.
BARGROOVES
Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should be cleaned if the tool has been heavily
used or if the saw chain appears dirty. Rails should always be cleaned every time the saw chain is
removed.
TO CLEAN GUIDE BAR RAILS:
1. Remove sprocket cover, bar and chain. Refer to Saw Chain Replacement / lnstallation.
2. Using a screwdriver , putty knife, wire brush or other similar instrument, clear residue from the
rails on the guide bar (Fig. 6). This will keep the oil passages open to provide proper lubrication
to the bar and chain.
3. Reinstall the bar, chain and bar bolt retaining nuts. Refer to Saw Chain Replacement /
lnstallation.
OIL PASSAGES
Oil passages at bar pad should be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during
operation . This can be done using a soft wire small enough to insert into the oil discharge hole .
HEDGE TRIMMER MAINTENANCE
Your tool should be stopped, disconnected and grease occasionally during use.

will not require resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or
other hard objects, you may nick the blade. There is no need to remove this nick as long as it
