Replace the chain sprocket:
–
after using two saw chains or
sooner
–
if the wear marks (arrows) on the
sprocket are deeper than about
0.5 mm (0.02 in) since this would
reduce the life of the chain. You can
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 sprockets to ensure correct
operation of the chain brake.
