Replace the chain sprocket
1 7-tooth sprocket (MSE 210 C,
MSE 230 C)
2 6-tooth sprocket with washer
(MSE 170 C, MSE 190 C)
– after using two saw chains or
sooner
– if the wear marks (a) on the
sprocket are deeper than 0.5 mm –
the life of the chain would otherwise
be reduced. Use reference 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.
