centre sharpen the chain using the right tools to ensure
minimum removal of material and even sharpness on all
the cutting edges.
To ensure that the chainsaw works safely and
efficiently, it is essential that the cutting means are
well-sharpened.
Always wear heavy duty gloves when handling
the bar and chain.
Kickback may occur if the chain is not
sufficiently sharpened.
• Replacing the toothed chain
Replace the chain whenever:
- the length of the cutting edges reduces to 5 mm or less;
- there is too much play between the links and the rivets.
- the cutting speed is too slow and the repeated sharpening
does not improve the cutting speed. The chain is worn.
After replacing the chain, its tension lev-

turned over periodically.

clean the bar groove with the scraper (not included)
(Fig. 34.A);
3.
clean the lubrication holes (Fig. 34.B);
4.
with a flat file, remove burr from the edges and level
off the guides.
• Replacing the bar
Replace the bar whenever:
- the groove is not as deep as the height of the drive
links (which must never touch the bottom);
- the inside of the guide is worn enough to make the
chain lean to one side.
