Safety instructions for maintenance

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your
cutting equipment in order to:
• Reduce the risk of kickback.
• Reduce the risk of the saw chain breaking or
jumping off the bar.
• Obtain optimal cutting performance.
• Extend the life of cutting equipment.
• Avoid increasing vibration levels.
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• 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 filing instructions. See
instructions under the heading
34 .
• Always use protective gloves when you handle the
saw chain.
• Any contact with a rotating saw chain can cause
extremely serious injuries.
• Keep the chain's cutting teeth properly sharpened!
Follow our instructions and use the recommended
file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain
increases the risk of accidents.
• Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk
of kickback.
