Chain at operating temperature
If groove depth is less than specified:
N Replace the guide bar.
Taking Care of the Guide
Bar
The chain stretches and begins to sag.
The drive links must not come out of the
bar groove – the chain may otherwise
jump off the bar. Retension the chain –
see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
The drive link tangs will otherwise
scrape along the bottom of the groove –
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.

The chain contracts as it cools
down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the gear shaft and
bearings.
After long period of full-throttle
operation
Allow engine to run for a short while at
idle speed so that engine heat can be
dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This
protects engine-mounted components
(ignition, carburetor) from thermal
overload.

After Finishing Work
N
Turn the bar over – every time you
sharpen the chain and every time
you replace the chain – this helps
avoid one-sided wear, especially at
the nose and underside of the bar.
N
Slacken off the chain if you have
retensioned it at operating
temperature during cutting work.
Always slacken off the chain after
finishing work. The chain
contracts as it cools down. If it is
not slackened off, it can damage
the gear shaft and bearings.

N
Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and the bar
groove (3).
Measure the groove depth – with
the scale on the filing gauge (special
accessory) – in the area used most
for cutting.
Storing your saw for a short period
Wait for the engine to cool down. Drain
the fuel tank. Store the machine in a dry
location. Check the tightness of all
accessible screws and nuts (not
adjusting screws) at regular intervals
and retighten if necessary.
