Checking and Replacing the Chain Sprocket
Remove the chain sprocket cover, chain and guide bar.
Replace the chain sprocket
After using two saw chains or sooner
If the wear marks (a) are deeper than 0.02 in
(0.5 mm) since this would reduce the life of
the chain. 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.
We recommend the use of original KisanKraft chain sprockets.
The chain sprocket is driven via a friction clutch. Have the chain sprocket replaced by a
servicing dealer. We recommend that you have servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized dealer or KisanKraft service center.
Maintaining and Sharpening the Saw Chain
Cutting effortlessly with a correctly sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices through wood
effortlessly and requires very little feed pressure. Do
not work with a dull or damaged chain as it will
increase the physical effort required, produce
unsatisfactory results and a higher rate of wear.
Clean the chain.
Check the chain for cracks in the links and
damaged
Replace any damaged or worn parts of
the chain and match the new parts to the
shape and size of the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains are particularly
wear resistant. Kisankraft recommends
you have your chain sharpened by our
servicing dealer. The saw chain cannot be
locked in place on the guide bar.
Therefore, it is best to remove the chain
from the bar and resharpen it on a
workshop sharpening tool.
The chain pitch (a) is marked
on the new depth gauge end of
each cutter
Mark (a)

It is absolutely essential to comply with the angles and dimensions specified below. If the
saw chain is incorrectly sharpened
–
and in particular if the depth gauge is set too low
–
there is an increased risk of kickback, with resulting risk of injury.
Use only special saw chain sharpening files. Other files have the wrong shape and cut.
Select file diameter according to chain pitch
–
see table “Sharpening Tools”. You
must
observe certain angles when re sharpening the chain cutter
