Cutting Equipment Designed To Reduce Kickback; Maintenance Of Saw Chain And Guide Bar - RedMax G5300 Manual De Instrucciones

• Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is
slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased
wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.
• Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and
properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is
more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the
bar, chain and drive sprocket.
Cutting equipment designed to reduce
kickback
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
!
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback!
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations
we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.
By using cutting equipment with "built-in" kickback
reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well-
maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.
Bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of
kickback.

A chain is made up of a number of links, which are
available in standard and low-kickback versions.

injuries.
