Handlebars
.
The handlebars generally require little or no
maintenance and, when used correctly, should
remain in good, working condition. Inspect the
handlebars occasionally for bending, unusual
cracks, and/or breakage. Replace them
immediately when damaged.
Part Lubrication
WARNING
• DO NOT grease parts
with the engine running
unless stated otherwise.
Lubricating parts on schedule increases the saw’s
efficiency and life. Use NLGI No. 2 premium
lithium-based grease when lubricating parts.
Blade Shaft
Lubricate both blade shaft bearing grease fittings
daily. Always grease the fittings with the engine
running at idle (extremely low speed!). Use one-half
to one full pump of grease when greasing the blade
shaft fittings.
Skip Plate and Skip Plate Mounting Flange
The skip plate prevents spalling while cutting. The
skip plate mounting flange holds the skip plate in
place. Inspect the cutting slot and the concrete side
