2. GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
• Conditions which can require guide bar
maintenance:
--saw cuts to one side
--saw has to be forced through a cut
--inadequate supply of oil to bar and
chain;
• Check the condition of the guide bar each
time the chain is sharpened. A worn guide
bar will damage the chain and make cutting
moredifficult,Reversebar after everycleaning.
I ........... A WARNING r

gauge. Filing the depth gauge too deep will increase
the chance of kickback which can result in serious
;injury. •
