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.
