Check the chain daily for:

•

Visible cracks in rivets and links.

•

Whether the chain is stiff.

•

Whether rivets and links are badly worn.

We recommend you compare the existing chain with a 
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.

When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to 
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.

Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. 
Replace if wear is excessive.

Check regularly:

•

Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar. 
Remove these with a file if necessary.

•

Whether the groove in the bar has become badly 
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.

•

Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If 
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is 
due to running with a slack chain.

•

To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over 
daily.
