Maintenance and Storage
Maintenance of the saw chain and chain bar (continued)
After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated.
Make sure every cutter has the same length and angle as illustrated.
Chain Bar
1. Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear.
2. The bar rail should always have parallel internal faces (see diagram). Check for wear of the
bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them,
the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
