GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the chain is worn out and should be replaced.
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 regularly.
