Repair
• Replace bent, cracked, or damaged saw chain components
only when the proper tools and new components are
available.
• When replacing damaged components, ensure the
replacements match the worn components. New parts need
to be filed to match the parts you're removing to ensure the
chain's durability is not affected.
• Only use new Oregon components to replace Oregon
damaged components. Never interchange components
between manufacturers.
Clean and Lubricate
After grinding, chains should be cleaned to remove filing and
grinding debris. After cleaning, lubricate, and or store in a
container with lubricant.
Saw Chain Maintenance
WARNING: Always use new components when repairing
