Important points for proper maintenance of saw 

chain: 

•  Keep the cutters sharp at all times. 

•  Keep the left and the right cutters properly 

aligned. 

-  Note that blunt or irregular cutters will result in 

poor cutting performance, increased vibration 

of chains and premature breakage of the saw 

chain. 

•  Drive link serves to remove sawdust from the 

groove of the guide bar.  

Keep the lower edge of the drive link sharp 

where indicated.
