Check chain tension frequently –
see "Operating Instructions" in the
Instruction Manual of the basic

N
Adjust the depth of cut
Never use a dull or damaged saw chain
– this leads to increased physical strain,
increased vibration load, unsatisfactory
cutting results and increased wear.

Clean the saw chain
N
Check the saw chain for cracks and
damaged rivets
N
Replace damaged or worn chain
components and adapt these parts
to the remaining parts in terms of
shape and level of wear – rework
accordingly
Compliance with the angles and
dimensions listed below is absolutely
necessary. An improperly sharpened
saw chain – especially depth gauges
that are too low – can lead to increased
kickback tendency of the chain saw –
risk of injury!
