A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available 
in standard and low-kickback versions.

Combining these links in different ways gives different 
degrees of kickback reduction. In terms of kickback reduction 
alone, four different types of link are available.

 

When the cutting equipment supplied with your saw becomes 
worn or damaged you must replace it with one of the bars and 
chains recommended by us. See the Technical data section.

of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the
