Cleaning the inside of the sprocket guard
CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain,
always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the
spark plug (see „Replacing the spark plug“). Always wear
protective gloves!
CAUTION: Start the chain saw only after having assembled
it completely and inspected.
Remove the sprocket guard (1) (see PUTTING INTO OPERA-
TION for the correct model) and clean out the interior with a
brush.
Remove the chain (2) and guide bar (3).
NOTE:
Make sure there are no residues or foreign matter remaining in
the oil guide groove (4) or on the chain tensioner (5).
To install the guide bar, saw chain, and sprocket guard, see
PUTTING INTO OPERATION for the correct model.
NOTE:
The chain brake is a very important safety device and like
any other component subject to normal wear and tear.
Regular inspection and maintenance are important for
your own safety and must be done by a MAKITA service
center.
