Maintaining The Guide Bar; Transporting And Storing - Ryobi P546 Manuel D'utilisation

DEPTH GAUGE CLEARANCE
See Figure 36 - 38.
 The depth gauge should be maintained at a
clearance of .025 in. Use a depth gauge tool
for checking the depth gauge clearances.
 Every time the chain is filed, check the depth
gauge clearance.
Use a flat file and a depth gauge jointer to lower
all gauges uniformly. Depth gauge jointers are
available in .020 in. to .035 in. Use a .025 in. depth
gauge jointer. After lowering each depth gauge,
restore original shape by rounding the front. Be
careful not to damage adjoining drive links with
the edge of the file.
Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat file in
the same direction the adjoining cutter was filed
with the round file. Use care not to contact cutter
face with flat file when adjusting depth gauges.

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR

See Figure 39.
CAUTION:
Make sure the chain has stopped and the bat-
tery pack has been removed before you do any
work on the saw to avoid accidental starting or
contact with the moving chain that may result
in injury.
Proper maintenance will maximize the useful life
of the guide bar.
Each day of use:
Clean the bar and check for wear and damage.
Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal
process of bar wear, but such faults should be
smoothed with a file as soon as they occur.
Each week of use:
 Reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute
the wear.
 Lubricate the socket at the end of the guide bar
using a grease syringe in the lubricating hole.
 Turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication
holes and chain groove are free from impurities.
A bar with any of the following faults should be
replaced immediately:
 Wear inside the bar rails that permits the chain
to lay over sideways
MAINTENANCE
 Bent guide bar
 Cracked or broken rails
 Spread rails

TRANSPORTING AND STORING

See Figure 40.
Always remove the battery pack before trans-
porting or storing chain saw. Place battery pack
indoors in a dry, secure location out of the reach
of children when storing. Failure to follow these
instructions may lead to accidental starting or
unauthorized use and result in serious personal
injury.
 Do not store or transport the chain saw when
it is running. The chain saw should always be
idle before storing or transporting.
 Always place the guide bar scabbard on the
bar and chain before storing or transporting the
chain saw. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth
of the chain.
 Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing.
Store the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that
is locked and/or inaccessible to children.
 Keep away from corrosive agents such as gar-
den chemicals and de-icing salts.
