Checking And Replacing Chain Sprocket - Stihl MS 460 Instruction Manual

English / USA
Checking and Replacing
Chain Sprocket
: Remove the chain sprocket cover,
chain and guide bar.
: Disengage the chain brake:
Pull hand guard toward the front
handle.
– Replace the chain sprocket after
using two Oilomatic chains.
– Replace sooner if the wear marks
on the sprocket are deeper than
approx. 0.02 in (0,5 mm) since this
would reduce the life of the chain.
You can use a gauge ("Special
Accessories") to check the depth of
the wear marks on sprockets.
It is best to use two chains in
rotation with one sprocket.
Use only original STIHL chain sprockets
to ensure correct operation of the chain
brake.
