Checking And Replacing The Chain Sprocket; Maintaining And Sharpening The Saw Chain - Stihl HT 100 Manual De Instrucciones

English
Checking and Replacing the
Chain Sprocket
Remove the chain sprocket cover,
N
chain and guide bar.
Replace the chain sprocket
a
after using two saw chains or
–
sooner
if the wear marks (a) are deeper
–
than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) since this
would reduce the life of the chain.
Use a gauge (special accessory) to
check the depth of the wear marks.
It is best to use two saw chains in
rotation with one sprocket.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL chain sprockets.

The chain sprocket is driven via a friction
clutch. Have the chain sprocket replaced
by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Maintaining and Sharpening
the Saw Chain
Cutting effortlessly with a 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.
N
Check the chain for cracks in the
N
links and damaged rivets.
Replace any damaged or worn
N
parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
WARNING
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 an
increased risk of kickback, with resulting
risk of injury.
The saw chain cannot be locked in place
on the guide bar. Therefore, it is best to
remove the chain from the bar and
resharpen it on a workshop sharpening
tool (FG 2, HOS, USG).
