• All the drive links should have the same
height. Different heights of the drive links
will cause the chain to run out of balance
and damage it.
• The minimum height of the drive links is 4
mm. Discard the chain if they are less. The
angles of the cutting edges must be
maintained. File with 2 or 3 strokes from
inside and out.
• File the chain with a round file. Always file
the cutting edges from inside and out. Pay
attention to the values given in the
diagrams. After filing all the drive links
should have the same width and height.
• The height of the rakers should be checked
after 3 – 4 filings. If necessary, file down the
rakers with a file template and flat file.

IMPORTANT:
• A sharp chain produces a good size of
chips. When sawing produces small chips
or dust it is time to file the chain.
• Correct filing of the rakers is just as
important as filing the cutting edges of
the chain.
Bar
• Turn the bar round every 8 working hours
to ensure that it wears uniformly.
• Use a cleaning tool to keep the groove and
lubrication holes clean (sold separately).
• Check the bar at regular intervals for wear
and damage, and replace if necessary.
• Clean the oil channels on the bar to ensure
proper lubrication of the bar and chain.
WARNING!
Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket or
worn guide ring.
