MAINTENANCE
Saw Chain
CHN-09
1. 2. 3. 4.
Your saw’s performance on the job
depends greatly on the condition of its
saw chain.
How the saw chain works
As the chain is pulled through the
wood:
1. The depth gauge determines the
depth of cut for the cutter.
2. The cutter’s leading edge enters
the wood, causing the entire cutter
to “rock back” and lift away from
the bar.
3. The top plate peels the severed
wood chip away.
4. The chip is discharged out the rear
of the cutter.
IMPORTANT!
Most of the actual cutting is done by
the sides and corners of the individual
cutters.
