Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This guide bar is specifically designed for Stihl chainsaws and requires compatible Stihl saw chains such as the 3/8" Picco Micro Mini 3 or the 1/4" Picco Micro 3. Ensure your Stihl chainsaw is equipped to handle a 25 cm (10 inch) guide bar with a 1.1 mm chain gauge and 1/4" chain pitch (25.4 / 4 mm).
Setup:
- Ensure your chainsaw is turned off and the spark plug wire is disconnected.
- Remove the chain brake and side cover.
- Mount the Rollomatic E Mini guide bar onto the mounting studs.
- Install the compatible Stihl saw chain, ensuring it is properly seated in the bar groove.
- Tension the chain correctly according to your chainsaw's manual.
- Replace the side cover and chain brake.
- Connect the spark plug wire and test chain tension and brake function.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the guide bar groove with a brush to remove sawdust and debris. Wipe down the bar with a clean cloth.
- Lubrication: Ensure the chain oiler is functioning correctly and the bar groove is adequately lubricated during operation.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the guide bar for wear, damage, or bent tips. Rotate the bar periodically to ensure even wear.
- Storage: Store the guide bar in a dry place, ideally with a bar scabbard, to prevent damage and rust.
