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.
