GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the chain is
worn out and should be replaced.
Bar
Check regularly:
• Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
• Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.
• Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
• To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
regularly.
!
