Cutting equipment
This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:
•Reduce the risk of kickback.
•Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or jumping off the bar.
•Obtain optimal cutting performance.
•Extend the life of cutting equipment.
•Avoid increasing vibration levels.
General rules
•Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See instructions under the heading Technical data.
•Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.
•Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended depth gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.
•Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
•Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
