AXXOM Technical Tip<br />

Worn sprocket rims are more difficult to detect than<br />

worn spur sprockets. AXXOM strongly recommends a<br />

new sprocket with every new saw chain. In the<br />

process, you can eradicate many of your<br />

customers’ concerns regarding chain stretch<br />

and extends the life of a new chain.<br />

Most sprocket problems are caused by<br />

loose chain tension and failure to replace<br />

the sprocket or clutch drum when<br />

necessary. Sprockets are inexpensive.<br />

One worn inexpensive sprocket can<br />

quickly damage an expensive chain and<br />

bar. Do not try to save money by running<br />

new chains on old sprockets. Look for the<br />

conditions below and change sprockets and<br />

clutch drums promptly.<br />
