N Turn the guide bar over – every time
you sharpen the chain and every
time you replace the chain – this
helps avoid one-sided wear,
especially at the nose and
underside of the bar.
N Regularly clean the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and the bar groove
(3).
N Measure the groove depth – with the
scale on the filing gauge (special
accessory) – in the area used most
for cutting.
If groove depth is less than specified:
N Replace the guide bar.
The drive link tangs will otherwise
scrape along the bottom of the groove –
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.
The air filter system can be adapted to
suit different operating conditions by
installing a choice of filters. Changing
the filter is quick and simple.
The saw comes standard with either a
fleece filter or a fabric filter.
Fleece filter with felt prefilter
For normal, dry and very dusty work
areas.
Fabric filter
For severe winter conditions (e.g.
powder and drifting snow, frost).
