GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Y Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our Bar
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of Y Length (inches/cm)
kickback.
Y Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T).
Y Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack
it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on
the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Y Chain pitch (inches). The spacing between the drive links
of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the bar
tip sprocket and drive sprocket.
Y Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly
maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to
break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and
drive sprocket.Y Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
Y Bar groove width (inches/mm). The groove in the bar must
kickbackmatch the width of the chain drive links.
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or the
!wrong combination of bar and saw chain
increases the risk of kickback! Only use the
bar/saw chain combinations we recommend,
and follow the Ţling instructions. See
instructions under the heading Technical data.Y Chain oil hole and hole for chain tensioner. The bar must
be matched to the chain saw design.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with �built-in� kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and well-maintained you can
reduce the effects of kickback.Chain
BarY Chain pitch (inches)
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.
Chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available Y Drive link width (mm/inches)
in standard and low-kickback versions.
IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger of
kickback.
Y Number of drive links.
WARNING! Any contact with a rotating saw
chain can cause extremely serious injuries.
