CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems.

Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge

settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly,

it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 12). This

causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not

cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.

Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain. A worn

or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged

guide bar will damage chain. It will also make cutting

harder.
