INSPECTION
Before each use and if the chain saw has
been dropped, inspect these parts:
• Handles: Front and rear handles should
not have cracks or other damage. They
should be clean and dry.
• Front Hand Guard: The front hand guard
should be free of damage and able
to move easily back and forth. When
moved, the front hand guard should
activate the chain brake.
• Guide Bar: The bar should be straight
and free of chips, cracks or excessive
wear.
• Saw Chain: The chain should be
properly tensioned and sharp and
all components free of cracks, chips,
broken teeth or excessive wear. See
“Tensioning the Saw Chain” and
“Sharpening with PowerSharp®”.
• Side Cover: The side cover should be
free of cracks or other damage. It should
fit tightly to the saw body with no
warping. Make sure the chain catcher is
free of cracks.
• Battery Pack: The battery pack should
be clean, dry, with no signs of puncture,
impact, or other damage. The contacts
should be clean, dry and free of debris.
• Battery Port: The battery port and
contacts should be clean, dry, and free
of debris.
• Chain Brake: Test the chain brake to
make sure it is functioning properly. See
“Testing the Chain Brake” under “General
Operation”.
• Oil Level: Make sure the oil reservoir is
full before use. See “Filling the Bar and
Chain Oil Reservoir”.
• Automatic Oiler: When the chain saw
is running without the guide bar and
saw chain attached, a small amount of
oil should seep from the hole in the bar
pad. See “Priming the Oiler”.
• Motor Cover: Check for cracks in the
cover and debris in the air intake vents.
Periodically inspect these parts:
• Drive Sprocket: Look for deep grooves,
broken teeth or burrs.
• Chain Tensioning Gear: Inspect the gear
for cracks, chips, loose screw, warping or
other damage.
• Bar-Mounting Area Underneath Side
Cover: Make sure the mounting stud
is not bent, stripped or cross-threaded
and that the bar pad and alignment
flange are free of debris and intact.
• Charger: The charger should be clean,
dry, and free of punctures or other
damage. The battery tray and contacts
should be free of debris.
