Maintenance Schedule

Daily/Before Use: Check chain tension, sharpness, and lubrication. Check fuel and oil levels. Inspect for loose parts or damage.

Weekly/Every 10 Hours: Clean air filter. Check spark plug. Clean external surfaces. Inspect guide bar for wear and groove condition.

Monthly/Every 50 Hours: Replace spark plug. Clean fuel filter. Check oil pump output. Clean cooling fins. Inspect anti-vibration elements.

Annually/Every 100 Hours: Replace fuel filter. Clean carburetor (or as needed). Check all screws and bolts for tightness.

Chain Sharpening & Tensioning

Sharpening: Use round file matching chain pitch (typically 7.1 mm / .404"). Maintain 30° filing angle. File all cutters to equal length. Check depth gauges with gauge tool.

Tensioning: Loosen bar nuts. Adjust tensioning screw until chain is snug against bar but can be rotated by hand. Tighten bar nuts while lifting bar tip. Re-check tension after tightening.

WARNING! Always wear gloves when handling chain. Stop engine and engage chain brake before maintenance.
