Bar Maintenance

To maximize bar life, the following bar maintenance is 

recommended.

The bar rails that carry the chain should be cleaned 

before storing the tool or if the bar or chain appear to 

be dirty.  

The rails should be cleaned every time the chain is 

removed.

Turn the bar over, top rail becoming bottom and bottom 

rail becoming top, around every 5 hours of use 

To clean the Bar rails:

1.  Remove chain cover and bar and chain.

2.  Using a wire brush, screwdriver or similar tool, 

clear the residue from the inner groove of the bar. (See 

Fig. L)

3.  Make sure to clean oil passages thoroughly

Conditions which require Guide Bar maintenance:

•  Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.

•  Saw has to be forced through the cut.

•  Inadequate supply of oil to the 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 difficult.

After each use, remove battery pack and clean all 

sawdust from the Guide Bar and sprocket hole.

When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore square 

edges and sides.

Replace the Guide Bar when the groove is worn, 

the Guide Bar is bent or cracked, or when excess 

heating or burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is 

necessary, use only the Guide Bar specified for your 

saw in the repair parts list or on the decal located on 

the chain saw.
