that follow before you use the product.
• Only use approved guide bar/saw chain
combinations and filing equipment. Refer to
Accessories on page 36 for instructions.
• Use protective gloves when you use or do
maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that
does not move can also cause injuries.
• Keep the cutting teeth correctly sharpened. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A
saw chain that is damaged or incorrectly sharpened
increases the risk of accidents.

• Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. If the saw chain is not tight against the guide
bar, the saw chain can derail. An incorrect saw chain

and chain drive sprocket. Refer to
tension of the saw chain (455 Rancher, 460

not correctly lubricated, the risk of wear on the guide
bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases.
