NTurn the bar over – every time you sharpen the chain and every time you replace the chain – this helps avoid one-sided wear, especially at the nose and underside of the bar.

NRegularly clean the oil inlet hole (1), the oilway (2) and the bar groove (3).

NMeasure the groove depth – with the scale on the filing gauge (special accessory) – in the area used most for cutting.

The drive link tangs will otherwise scrape along the bottom of the groove – the cutters and tie straps will not ride on the bar rails.
