• Keep the chain's cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended
file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain
increases the risk of accidents.
• Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk
of kickback.
• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to
increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely
to break and lead to increased wear on the bar,
chain and drive sprocket.
Some terms that describe the bar and chain
To maintain the safety features of the cutting equipment,
you should replace a worn or damaged bar or chain with
a guide bar and saw chain combinations recommended
by Husqvarna. See instructions under the heading
Accessories on page 37 for a list of replacement bar
and chain combinations we recommend.
