To do a check of the spur sprocket

The clutch drum has a spur sprocket that is welded on
the clutch drum.
• Regularly do a visual check of the degree of wear on
the spur sprocket. Replace the clutch drum with the
spur sprocket if there is too much wear.

To lubricate the needle bearing

1. Pull the front hand guard rearward to disengage the
chain brake.
2. Loosen the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover.
Note: Some models have only one bar nut.
3. Put the product on a stable surface with the clutch
drum up.
4. Apply engine oil to the clutch drum. Let the clutch
drum rotate. Use engine oil or a bearing grease of
high quality.

necessary.
2. Make sure that the saw chain is easy to bend.

3. Compare the saw chain with a new saw chain to
examine if the rivets and links are worn.

cutting tooth is less than 4 mm/0.16 in. Also replace
the saw chain if there are cracks on the cutters.
