GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

74 – English

Guide bar

Check regularly:

•

Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. 
Remove these with a file if necessary.

•

Whether the groove in the bar has become badly 
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.

•

Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If 
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is 
due to running with a slack chain.

•

To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over 
daily.

!

WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment 
may increase the risk of accidents.
