How to replace rivets
NOTE: Always wear approved safety
accessories for hands and face when
replacing rivets.
When using slotted anvils the pitch of the
saw chain to be broken should match the
numbered chain breaker anvil slot. See
pages 7 – 9 to identify your saw
chain’s pitch. Insert the saw chain portion
for breaking into the proper slot of the saw
chain anvil and push saw chain forward
until bottom tie strap is flush with the far
side of the slot. (This supports the drive link
on both sides of the slot.)
When using an adjustable anvil insert the
saw chain portion for breaking into the
adjustable jaw. Push the chain forward
until the bottom tie strap is flush with the far side of the jaw.
Tighten the jaw until it clinches both sides of the bottom tie
strap and the drive link is supported on both sides of the jaw
slot.
Position the rivet head directly under the anvil punch. Pull the
punch handle down; do not use excessive force.
NOTE: It’s important when breaking saw chain at the cutter
to make sure cutter is in the top position.
Removing rivets from broken drive links
When removing rivets from broken drive links, hold the two
broken segments together in their original (unbroken)positions
as you tighten the saw chain link in the adjustable anvil.
See the “How to replace
rivets” section previous to
continue with repairs.
