The important matters for saw chains are as follows.
• Keep the cutters sharp at all times.
• Keep the left and the right cutlers properly aligned.
- Please note that blunt or irregular cutters will result in poor cutting performance, increased vibration of chains
and premature breakage of the chain saw.
• Drive link serves to remove sawdust from the groove of
the guide bar. Therefore, keep the lower edge of the drive
link sharp as indicated by the arrow.
When setting of the chain is finished, soak it in oil and wash away filings completely before using.
- When chain has been filed on the bar. supply sufficient oil on it. rotate the chain slowly to wash away the filings
before using again.
- If the chain saw is operated with filings clogged in the groove, the saw chain and the guide bar will be damaged
prematurely.
- If the saw chain becomes soiled with resin, for instance, clean it up with kerosene and soak It in oil.
