How to Determine If Your Chainsaw Needs a Guide Bar Replacement
A good guide bar is essential for your chainsaw’s quality performance. When a bar becomes twisted, it can become difficult to straighten. It can also cause irregular cuts and burn the wood. Depending on the severity of the damage, you might need to replace the guide bar.
Determining the guide
One way to determine if a guide bar needs to be replaced is to look at its tops. These are the areas where most wear is located. However, if the bar is in good working condition, you can still continue to cut.
In addition to the bar, you should check the chain teeth to make sure that they are still sharp. Damaged teeth might not be sharp enough to cut the wood. You can either use a fine-tooth flat file or buy a new chain.
If you notice a sag in the bar, you may need to replace it. It can be a sign of a twisted or worn bar. Using a rubber mallet, you can straighten the bar.
Indication
The other main indication that a guide bar is wearing out is when the cutting action is decreased. This is due to too much tension on the chain. Excessive tension can damage the bar’s tip or the saw engine’s main bearings. Too little tension can damage the chain and cause binding.
Finally, checking your chain’s oiling mechanism is the best way to find out if your chainsaw is leaking. Oil should be moving down the bar’s rails and can be seen in the form of an oil spatter.
