MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
– Turn the bar over in the vice and repeat on all the
other cutting edges.
– Check that the limiter tooth does not stick out fur-

projecting parts with a flat file, rounding off the
edge.
– After sharpening, remove all traces of filing and

Replace the chain whenever:
– The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5
mm or less;
– There is too much play between the links and the
rivets.
