Important points for proper maintenance of saw
chain:
• Keep the cutters sharp at all times.
• Keep the left and the right cutters properly
aligned.
- Note that blunt or irregular cutters will result in
poor cutting performance, increased vibration
of chains and premature breakage of the saw
chain.
• Drive link serves to remove sawdust from the
groove of the guide bar.
Keep the lower edge of the drive link sharp
where indicated.
