• The cut way does not go straight
• Vibration increases
• Fuel consumption increases

• Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear.
• The bar rail should always be square. Check for wear
or warping of the bar rail. Apply a ruler/straight edge to
the inside and outside of the bar. If a gap is observed
between them the rail is normal. Otherwise the rail is
worn or warped. Such a bar needs to be corrected or
replaced (F 35).
