:
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.
:
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.
*
see “Guide to Using this Manual”
If groove depth is less than specified:
:
Replace the guide bar.
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 air filter system can be adapted to
suit different operating conditions by
simply installing a choice of filters.
Standard
wire mesh filter
(1)
(green) for
normal normal operating conditions and
winter operation.
