Taking Care of Guide Bar
During operation
After long period of full-throttle
operation
Check chain tension frequently
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
Allow engine to run for a short while at
idle speed so that engine heat can be
dissipated by flow of cooling air. This
protects engine-mounted components
(ignition, carburetor) from thermal
overload.

Chain cold:
Tension is correct when chain fits snugly
against the underside of the bar and can
still be pulled along the bar by hand.
Retension if necessary – see
“Tensioning the Saw Chain”.

retensioned it at operating

temperature during cutting work.
The chain contracts as it cools
down. If it is not slackened off, it
could damage the crankshaft and
bearings.

Retension the chain – see “Tensioning
the Saw Chain”!
Storing your saw for a short period:
Wait for engine to cool down. To avoid
condensation, fill the fuel tank and keep
the machine in a dry place, well away
from sources of ignition, until you need it
again.
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
crankshaft and bearings.
:
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.
Storing for a long period:
See “Storing the Unit”!
:
:
Regularly clean
the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and
the bar groove (3).
Measure groove depth –
with scale on filing gauge* – in area
used most for cutting.
