Saw Chain
THE FOUR BASIC SAW-CHAIN RULES
ATTENTION CHAINSAW USERS:
Oregon
®
urges you to become familiar with the four
basic saw-chain rules. Users who know and follow
these rules can count on superior performance from
their chain, bar, and sprocket – and – reduce safety

RULE NUMBER 1
Y

More chain and bar problems are caused by incorrect
chain tension than by any other single factor. See pages
18-21 on how to tension your chain.
RULE NUMBER 2

how to lubricate your chain.
