Cutting in Cold Weather Cutting frozen wood will cause rapid wear and possible breakage around the rear rivet hole of cutters. Follow the steps below to keep cold-weather wear to a minimum.
0˚ C-
-32˚ F
Oil
Dilute guide bar chain oil 25 percent with clean kerosene or diesel oil. Use twice as much of this diluted oil during operation, and be certain your saw chain is receiving oil from the chain saw.
Tension Keep your saw chain correctly tensioned. Check and adjust often.
Cutters Keep cutters sharp. Touch up the cutting edge with a file every hour, more often if needed.
Do not force dull saw chain to cut. Depth Gauges
Check and adjust your cutter’s depth gauges every 3 – 4 sharpenings. Guide Bar
Keep the guide bar groove clean and the oil hole open. Turn symmetrical* guide bars over to equalize rail wear.
*Do not turn Guard Tip® guide bars over. Drive Sprocket
Replace the drive sprocket after every two saw chains, or sooner.
Some Good Chain Saw Advice 1. Saw chain is made to cut only one thing: wood. Do not use saw chain to cut other materials, and never let your saw chain contact rocks or dirt during operation. Dirt may seem soft. In fact, dirt is extremely abrasive and will wear away your saw chain’s vital chrome plating in less than a second.
2. Never force dull saw chain to cut. When it is sharp, saw chain is designed to feed itself into the wood, and needs only light pressure to cut efficiently. Dullness, or sharpness, is also indicated by the sawdust your chain saw is producing. Dull saw chain produces fine wood dust, which can clog your chain saw’s air filter. Sharp saw chain produces wood chips.
