Some terms that describe the bar and chain
When the cutting equipment supplied with your saw becomes
worn or damaged you will need to replace it. Use only the type
of bar and chain recommended by us. See the ”Technical data”
section to find out which equipment is recommended for your
saw.
kickback
Faulty cutting equipment or the wrong
combination of bar and chain increases the
risk of kickback. Use only the bar and chain
combinations recommended in the ”Technical
data” section.
Bar
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the kick-
back zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with “built-in” kickback protection
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.

Small number = small tip
radius = low-kickback
A Bar
The smaller the tip radius the
smaller the kickback zone and
the lower the chance of
kickback.

•
CHAIN PITCH (inches)
The spacing between the
drive links of the chain must
match the spacing of the
teeth on the bar tip sprocket
and drive sprocket.
NUMBER OF DRIVE LINKS
The number of drive links is
determined by the length of
the bar, the chain pitch and
the number of teeth on the
bar tip sprocket.
B Saw chain
A saw chain is made up of a number of links, which are
available in standard and low-kickback versions.
