Replace the chain sprocket
–
after using two saw chains or
sooner
–
if the wear marks (a) on the sprocket
are deeper than approx. 0.5 mm
since this would reduce the life of
the chain. You can use a gauge
(special accessory) to check the
depth of the wear marks.
It is best to use two saw chains in
rotation with one sprocket.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL sprockets to ensure correct
operation of the chain brake.
