Important Information
Any chain saw, no matter what make, is only as good
as its saw chain. Never ignore chain maintenance – if you
do, poor cutting is just one result. An improperly cared for
chain will eventually ruin the bar, the sprocket and other
engine parts. Poorly maintained chain is also a potential
safety hazard, since it can contribute to a reaction known
as “kickback” (see page 17 for definition and hints on
how to reduce the risk of kickback).
Keeping a chain in good repair will save both money
and cutting time.
This brochure is designed to cover only chain, bar
and sprocket maintenance. For general chain saw
care, always refer to your Owner’s Manual and your
servicing chain saw dealer.
