Four Basic Rules - Oregon Chain Saw Maintenance & Safety Manual

THE FOUR BASIC SAW-CHAIN RULES
ATTENTION CHAINSAW USERS:
OREGON urges you to become familiar with the four basic saw-chain
®
rules. Users who know and follow these rules can count on superior
performance from their chain, bar, and sprocket, - and reduce safety
hazards at the same time.
RULE NUMBER 1
Your chain must be correctly tensioned.
More chain and bar problems are caused by incorrect chain tension
than by any other single factor. See pages13 and 14 on how to tension
your chain.
RULE NUMBER 2
Your chain must be well lubricated
A constant supply of oil to your saw's bar, chain and sprocket is vital.
Without it, excessive friction, wear, and damage will occur.
See page 15 for instructions on how to lubricate your chain.
