Chain Saw Blade Direction, To achieve optimal, efficient, and secure operation from your chainsaw, you must understand how to set up the blade correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the users’ most frequent errors is mounting chainsaw blades inappropriately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chain saw chain installation errors can result in poor cutting performance, premature chain wear, and tear, or even dangerous kickback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0This article will discuss the appropriate chain saw blade direction and installation procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this knowledge, you will know how to maintain your saw’s optimal performance and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n
A chainsaw’s chain should wrap around the guide bar clockwise. This mechanism implies that the teeth should be pointing forward on the top of the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should point toward the engine when on the bottom of the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions for a safe and correct setup for your particular chainsaw model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, inspecting it from the side, front, and bottom perspectives is essential to ensure proper installation. <\/p>\n\n\n
There are two aspects to consider when viewing from the side and front. The first is the triangular-shaped drive links used to propel the chain around the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other is the depth gauge (raker) which shows the correct height of the teeth above the bar. The depth gauge is in front of each cutting tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a front viewpoint, position the chain so the drive links face the engine and the cutting teeth point forward. It would be best if you also positioned the cutting teeth correctly above the bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
