Maintaining And Sharpening Saw Chain - Stihl MS 191 T Manual De Instrucciones

Maintaining and Sharpening
Saw Chain
Correctly sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
: Clean the chain.
: Check the chain for cracks in the
links and damaged rivets.
:
Replace any damaged or worn parts
of the chain and match the new
parts to the shape and size of the
original parts.
It is absolutely essential to comply
with the angles and dimensions
specified below. If the saw chain is
incorrectly sharpened – and in
particular if the depth gauge is set
too low – there is a risk of increased
kickback of the chainsaw, with
resulting risk of injury.
