GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 5/32 inch (4 mm) the chain must be replaced.
Bar
Check regularly:
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your servicing dealer.
•
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
Chain drive sprocket
•
•
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
A
Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
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.
B
Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
Needle bearing lubrication
•
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
daily.
Both versions of sprockets have a needle bearing on the
drive shaft, which has to be greased regularly (once a
week).CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or
engine oil.
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents happen
when the chain touches the operator.
!
See instructions under the heading Maintenance, Needle
bearing lubrication.
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading ”Personal
protective equipment”.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Do not tackle any job that you feel you are not
adequately trained for. See instructions under
the headings Personal protective equipment,
How to avoid kickback, Cutting equipment
and General working instructions.
Check the chain daily for:
Avoid situations where there is a risk of
kickback. See instructions under the heading
Machine′s safety equipment.
Use the recommended protective equipment
and check its condition. See instructions
under the heading General working
instructions.
•
•
•
Visible cracks in rivets and links.
Whether the chain is stiff.
Check that all the chain saw safety features
are working. See instructions under the

above.
