Husqvarna 61 268 272XP Chainsaw Owners Manual

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General rules
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available
in standard and low-kickback versions.
Only use cutting equipment recommended by us!
See instructions under the heading Technical data.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger of
kickback.
Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended file
gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases
the risk of accidents.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating saw
chain can cause extremely serious injuries.
!
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment, you
should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with a bar and
chain combinations recommended by Husqvarna. See
instructions under the heading Technical Data for a list of
replacement bar and chain combinations we recommend.
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of
kickback.
Bar
Length (inches/cm)
Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T).
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.
Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained!  A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain 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.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
wrong combination of bar and saw chain
Bar groove width (inches/mm).The groove in the bar must
match the width of the chain drive links.
!
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the
bar/saw chain combinations we recommend,
and follow the filing instructions. See
instructions under the heading Technical
data.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must
be matched to the chain saw design.
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.
