Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean and lubricated;
replace worn sprockets or chains.
Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a dull chain when
easy-to-cut wood becomes hard to cut and burn marks
appear on the wood.
Keep the chain at proper tension. Tighten all nuts, bolts
and screws except the carburetor adjustment screws after
each use.
Keep spark plugs and wire connections tight and clean.
Store saws in a high or locked place, away from children.
