GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
English – 15
• Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carr
ying out the abo
ve checks and associated measures
you should contact your service agent.
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
A Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
B Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is e
xcessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
Needle bearing lubrication
Both versions of sprockets have a needle bearing on the
drive shaft, which has to be greased regularly (once a
week). CAUTION! Use a high-quality bearing grease or
engine oil.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
• Visible cracks in rivets and links.
• Whether the chain is stiff.
• Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
abo
v
e.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 4 mm the chain must be replaced.
Bar
Check regularly:
• Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remov
e these with a file if necessary.
• Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
wor
n. Replace the bar if necessary.
• Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow f
orms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
