Checking Wear On Cutting Equipment - Husqvarna 536LiPX Manual De Instrucciones

Checking wear on cutting equipment

Saw chain
Li-ion Li-ion
Check the chain daily for:
• Visible cracks in rivets and links.
• Whether the chain is stiff.
• Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 5/32 inch (4 mm) the chain must be replaced.
Chain drive sprocket
Li-ion Li-ion
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive.
Guide bar
Li-ion Li-ion
Check regularly:
• Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• If the guide bar groove is abnormally worn or can be
turned backwards and forwards on the shaft an
abnormal amount. 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.
• To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
daily.
WARNING! A faulty cutting attachment
!
may increase the risk of accidents.
