• Keep the correct depth gauge setting. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
setting. Too large depth gauge setting increases the
risk of kickback.
(Fig. 47)
• 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
tension increases wear on the guide bar, saw chain
and chain drive sprocket. Refer to
page 41 .

• Do maintenance on the cutting equipment regularly
and keep it correctly lubricated. If the saw chain is
not correctly lubricated, the risk of wear on the guide
bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases.
