CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Continued
4.Hold file guide level. Make sure 30° mark on file guide is parallel to center of guide bar (see Figure 19). This will insure that you file cutters at 30° angle.
5.File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only file in this one direction (see Figure 19). Note: Two or three strokes with file should sharpen cutter.
6.After each cutter is sharpened, move chain for- ward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters on one side of chain.
7.Move to other side of chain and repeat process.
Filing Cutter Depth Gauges
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters are sharpened. After every second or third sharpen- ing, reset cutter depth gauges.
1.Place depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 21).
2.Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.
3.Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure 22).
After several hand filings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even filing.
REPLACING SAW CHAIN
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use replacement chain noted in this manual. Always include new drive sprocket when replacing chain. This will maintain proper driving of chain. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see
