4. Технічне обслуговування

Regular maintenance of your chainsaw chain is crucial for optimal cutting performance and safety. While this is a replacement chain, proper care will extend its lifespan.

• Прибирання: After each use, clean the chain to remove sawdust, resin, and debris. This prevents buildup that can hinder performance and cause premature wear.
• Змащення: Ensure your chainsaw's automatic oiler is functioning correctly and that the bar and chain are adequately lubricated during operation. Proper lubrication reduces friction and heat, extending chain life.
