GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Checking wear on cutting equipment

Chain

Check the chain daily for:

•Visible cracks in rivets and links.

•Whether the chain is stiff.

•Whether rivets and links are badly worn.

We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.

When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.

Chain drive sprocket

Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive.

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.
