12 MAINTENANCE
12.1 Guide bar maintenance
Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (railed bar which supports and carries the saw chain)
sprocket tip is required. Proper maintenance of the guide bar, as explained in this section, is
essential to keep your saw in good working condition.
▪ Dismount the Saw Chain (1) and Guide Bar (2) by following the instructions in ‘Assembling
the chainsaw’ in reverse
▪ Remove saw dust from the bar groove and oiling port using a small screwdriver, probe
(not included) (see Fig. 31), or compressed air
▪ Inspect the Guide Bar and the sprocket on its tip. Lubricate the sprocket with a suitable
maintenance spray
▪ Deburr, turn over or replace the Guide Bar as required.
12.2 Sprocket tip lubrication
Caution: the sprocket tip on your new saw has been pre-lubricated at the
factory. Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below
will result in poor performance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s
warranty.
