    Chain melting plastic guide bumpers?

    @effigy , If you get pine sap ,or ,any other type of sap giving you problems to clean off … use rubbing alcohol (90+% ) . Cuts right though it . Even old dry sap . And, it doesn’t attack paint ,or plastic.

    If you have shop air , give the cooling fan a blast of air from the air nozzle in the direction you want it to turn . Takes about 2 seconds . You don’t even have to remove the fan cover .

    Stihl usg grinder
