13 Mechanical Timber Harvesting Handbook
Installation and Break-In
The critical time for saw chain occurs during the break-in period
for a new (or newly sharpened) saw chain.
We recommend transporting your new (or newly sharpened) saw
chain to the job site in a container with lubricant. Leave them in
the container until they are needed.
• If you do not transport your saw chain as suggested above,
then lubricate your saw chain prior to use.
After installation, increase the saw speed gradually for the first
2 to 4 minutes of running while cycling the guide bar. Do this until
you observe lubricant leaving the tip of the guide bar.
For manual tensioning systems, check and adjust as necessary.
