STATUS CP 115 07410601 [10/36] Maintenance

Always clean the bar tip sprocket thoroughly prior operation. Use a lube gun (not included

in the kit) to lubricate the bar tip sprocket. Insert needle nose into the lubrication hole

D and inject oil until it appears at outside edge of sprocket. Ensure the chain brake is

deactivated. Rotate the chain by hand. Repeat the above described procedure until the

sprocket is lubricated entirely.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well

aintained. Improper ling and non-uniform cutter and depth gauge settings cause most

guide bar problems, resulting mainly in uneven bar wear. As the bar wears unevenly, the

rails widen, which may cause chain clatter and diculty in making straight cuts. Insucient

guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with a chain this is too tight will contribute

to rapid bar wear. To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar maintenance is

recommended.

CLEANING THE GUIDE BAR GROOVE

Remove side cover, bar and chain. Using a bar-groove cleaner (not included in the kit) or a

screwdriver, putty knife, wire brush or other similar tools, clean residue from the bar groove.

This will keep the oil passages open and provide proper lubrication to the bar

and chain. Reinstall the bar, chain (adjust tension) sprocket cover and locking knob.

OIL PASSAGES

• Turn machine o and pull out the battery.

• Clean the guide bar and saw chain with a soft brush.

• Apply oil in area between guide bar and saw chain.

• Fit the battery.

• Switch on the tool

• The saw chain is lubricated.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Unless you have experience and specialized training for dealing with kickback,

always use a low-kickback saw chain, which signicantly reduces the danger of kickback.

Low-kickback saw chains do not completely eliminate kickback. Low-kickback or “safety”

chains, should never be regarded as total protection against injury. Always replace a worn

out chain with a new low-kickback chain.
