Straight Rails

There are three major points to remember when

maintaining your TriLink

guide bars. First, inspect

the guide rails and oil holes to make sure they are

clear of saw dust and dirt. Keeping both the rails

and oil holes clean ensures the optimal lubrication.

Second, check your guide rail for any imperfections;

this can mean burrs, cracking, twisting, or uneven

rails. Making sure the guide bar stands on a flat

surface will help determine if the rails are straight.

Any burrs need to be filed away using a flat file.

Third, you should have already cleaned out the saw

dust and dirt from the guide rails, now it’s time to

make sure the drive links of your saw chain will run

smoothly in the bar groove. Be sure to check the

depth and the straightness of the bar groove.
