WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator.
!
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading ”Personal
protective equipment”.
Check the chain daily for:
Do not tackle any job that you feel you
are not adequately trained for. See
instructions under the headings
Personal protective equipment, How to

General working instructions.
•
•
•
Visible cracks in rivets and links.
Whether the chain is stiff.
Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
Avoid situations where there is a risk of
kickback. See instructions under the
heading Machine′s safety equipment.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
above.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
Use the recommended protective
equipment and check its condition. See
instructions under the heading General
working instructions.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.
Bar
Check that all the chain saw safety
features are working. See instructions
under the headings General working
instructions and General safety
precautions.
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
daily.
