Figure 15). Use top of guide bar to
make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diam-
eter of log. This cut will keep section
from splintering when cut.
2. Make second cut directly above first
cut. Cut down to meet first cut. This
cut will keep log from pinching guide
bar and chain.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar
problems. Incorrect sharpening of chain
cutter and depth gauge settings often cause
this. When bar wears unevenly, it widens
guide bar groove (see Figure 17). This causes
chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not
cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.
A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A
worn or damaged guide bar will damage
chain. It will also make cutting harder.
