How to change the chain and rim

CAUTION! If the chain has been used and is
!
refitted it must be fitted in the same working
direction as earlier in order to reduce
segment wear and to obtain full cutting
capacity directly.
The chain must never be fitted the wrong
way round. The raker should guide the
segment at the right height in the cut.
Turn the bar when replacing the chain for maximum bar life.
