Turn the Guide Bar (EVERY10 HOURS of USE)

To avoid a wear pattern on your guide bar, you need to turn the guide bar after every 10 hours of use.   

To do this simple remove the guide bar and flip it over, then reinstall it. If your bar shows signs of excessive wear, or is damaged in any way, the guide bar must be replaced with a new guide bar. Do not use your chainsaw until the guide bar has been replaced.

To turn the guide bar refer to your owner’s manual or follow the instructions listed below:

• Remove the shroud covering, clutch, and chain drive sprocket by losing then removing the two bar retaining nuts.
• Release the tension on the saw chain by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise. (The adjustment screw should be located on the front of the motor housing near the guide bar.)
• Remove the saw chain.
• Remove the bar protector plate. (Make note of its placement so that it can be replaced correctly when reassembling.)
• Remove the guide bare, flip over the bar, then reinstall the bar.
• Replace bar protector plate.
• Replace saw chin.
• Properly tighten tension on saw chain by turning the adjustment screw clockwise.
• Replace clutch, chain drive sprocket, and shroud covering, then reattach the two bar retaining nuts and tighten them.
