Chain drive sprocket
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive.
Guide bar
Check regularly:
•
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
•
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.
•
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
