GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Bar

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.

!
