To examine the cutting equipment

  1. Make sure that there are no cracks in rivets and links and that no rivets are loose. Replace if it is necessary.
  2. Make sure that the saw chain is easy to bend. Replace the saw chain if it is rigid.
  3. Compare the saw chain with a new saw chain to examine if the rivets and links are worn.
  4. Replace the saw chain when the longest part of the cutting tooth is less than 4 mm/0.16 in. Also replace the saw chain if there are cracks on the cutters.
