The chain stretches and begins to sag.
The drive links must not come out of the
bar groove – the chain may otherwise
jump off the bar.

After finishing work
If groove depth is less than specified:
Replace the guide bar.

:
Disconnect plug from power supply.
:
Always slacken off the chain again
after finishing work.
The drive link tangs will otherwise
scrape along the bottom of the groove –
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.

The chain contracts as it cools
down. If it is not slackened off, it
may damage the drive shaft and
bearings.
:
Turn the bar over –
every time you sharpen the chain
and every time you replace the
chain – this helps avoid one-sided
wear, especially at the nose and
underside of the bar.
:
:
Regularly clean
the oil inlet hole (1),
the oilway (2) and
the bar groove (3).
Measure groove depth –
with scale on filing gauge* – in area
used most for cutting.
