– after using two saw chains or
sooner
– if the wear marks (a) are deeper
than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) since this
would reduce the life of the chain.
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.
