GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
•
Bar groove width (inches/mm).The groove in the bar must
match the width of the chain drive links.
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
!
wrong combination of bar and saw chain
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the
bar/saw chain combinations we recommend,
and follow the filing instructions. See
instructions under the headingTechnical data.
•
Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must
be matched to the chain saw design.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.
Chain
•
Chain pitch (inches)
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available
in standard and low-kickback versions.
•
Drive link width (mm/inches)
Number of drive links.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger of
kickback.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating saw
chain can cause extremely serious injuries.

General information on sharpening cutting teeth
•
Length (inches/cm)
•
Never use a blunt chain.When the chain is blunt you have
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt it
will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.
•
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and produces
long, thick chips or shavings.
•
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.
•
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference
in height between the two (depth gauge setting).
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.
