This section explains how correct maintenance and use of the right cutting equipment:
•
Reduces kickback tendencies.
•
Reduces the frequency of chain derailing and breakage.
•
Achieves maximum cutting effect.
•
Increases the service life of the chain.
The five basic rules
•
Use only the recommended cutting equipment!
See «Technical Specifications» on page 3.
•
Ensure that the cutter teeth are always correctly sharpened! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended filing guide. A chain which is
damaged or improperly maintained increases the risk of accident.
•
Maintain the correct depth-gauge height.
Worn depth gauges increase the risk of kickback.
