Maintaining The Guide Bar; Storing The Product - Ryobi RY43161 Manual Del Operador

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR

See Figure 27.
CAUTION:
Make sure the chain has stopped and the tool
is unplugged from the power supply before you
do any work on the saw.
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
 Bent guide bar
 Cracked or broken rails
 Spread rails
MAINTENANCE

STORING THE PRODUCT

See Figure 28.
 Clean all foreign material from the product. Store
idle unit indoors in a dry, well-ventilated area
that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
de-icing salts.
 Always place the scabbard on the saw bar
when transporting or storing the pole saw. The
scabbard is a snug fit and must be attached
very carefully due to the sharp teeth on the
saw chain. This is best done by grasping the
scabbard at one end, in the center portion of
the scabbard, and carefully sliding it over the
chain as shown. Use caution to avoid the sharp
teeth of the chain.
NOTE: The saw chain is very sharp. Always
wear protective gloves when handling the chain.
