REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN
WARNING:
Always use a low-kickback saw chain,
which significantly reduces the danger of kickback. Low-
kickback saw chain does not completely eliminate
kickback. A low-kickback or "safety chain," should never
be regarded as total protection against injury.
When replacing the guide bar and saw chain, only use the
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or their
equivalents. Refer to Replacement Parts. Use of any unauthorized
parts or accessories could lead to serious injury to the operator or
damage to the unit and will VOID the warranty.
Always use a replacement saw chain designated as "low-kickback"
or a saw chain that meets the low-kickback performance
requirements. A standard saw chain (a chain that does not have the
kickback-reducing guard links) should only be used by an
experienced professional chain saw operator.
CLEANING
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, never clean the
unit while it is running. Always disconnect the unit from the
power source to prevent the unit from starting accidentally.
Always allow the unit to cool before cleaning the unit.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury, do not douse the
unit with water. Do not submerge the unit in water or any
other liquid. Do not use strong detergents. Household
cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon,
and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic.
1. Loosen the saw chain if the chain tension was adjusted during
operation. The saw chain will contract as the unit cools, which
could damage the unit if the chain is too tight.
2. Clean the unit with a damp cloth.
NOTE: When preparing the unit for long-term storage (30 days or
more), remove the guide bar and saw chain. Carefully clean the
guide bar cover, guide bar mounting surface and sprocket. Use
a firm non-wire brush to clean the guide bar groove.
Reassemble the unit.
3. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
4. Lightly coat the guide bar and saw chain with a corrosion-
inhibiting oil.
