User manual

The nose of a guide bar that has been twisted or pinched
will create additional friction in and around the sprocket.
This additional friction will cause discoloration to the nose
area of the guide bar. This excessive damage will result in a
replacement guide bar being needed.
Misuse of your chain saw, such as using it as leverage to fell
a tree or as a felling wedge, as well as cutting while a saw
chain’s tension is too tight will cause a damaged or possible
broken nose sprocket and will result in a replacement guide
bar needed.
