urges you to become familiar with proper chain-maintenance
techniques, and the possible dangers which can result if chain is not
properly maintained.
Always turn off your saw’s engine before handling the chain,
guide bar or sprocket.
Any one of the following conditions can increase a chain’s
potential kickback energy, increase the risk of a chain throwing
itself off the bar, or increase the risk of other hazards associated
with chainsaw use.
1. Incorrect sharpening of chain angles.
2. Dull chain.
3. Alteration of kickback-reducing chain features.
4. Excessive chain depth-gauge settings.
5. Incorrect chain depth-gauge shapes.
6. Loose chain tension.
7. Incorrectly installed chain parts.
8. Loose rivets, or cracks or breaks in any chain component.
When performing maintenance on saw chain, follow all
instructions on pages 12 through 55. Doing so can minimize the
risk of injury.
WARNING
Failure to follow the instructions below can result in severe
injury to the saw operator, bystanders, or the person
performing maintenance.
