The drive link tangs will otherwise scrape
along the bottom of the groove -
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on
the bar rails.

or sooner if the wear marks on the sprok-
ket are deeper than approx.
0.5 mm (
1
/
64
") since this would reduce
the life of the chain.
Check wear marks:
Left: on webs of rim sprockets -
Right: on teeth of spur sprockets.
You can use gauge* 0000 893 4101
to check the depth of the wear marks on
spur and rim sprockets.
It is best to use two chains in rotation
with one sprocket.
