outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between
them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is
worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or
replaced.(MA4)

• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for your chain.
