Instructions to Disassemble the Huskvarna 55

Using a chainsaw to cut down trees, branches and other overgrown areas can make work a lot easier than using an axe or a machete. However, chain saws can get filthy from sap and saw dust after each use. The Husqvarna 55 Rancher is no exception. Whether you have to clean the saw or perform regular maintenance, eventually the saw will have to be taken apart. Disassembling the Rancher takes about an hour.
