3.Press 5/32" round Þle (attached to Þle guide) into groove between top plate and depth gauge on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate and depth gauge (see Figure 15). Note: File at midpoint of guide bar.
4.Hold Þle guide level. Make sure 30° mark on Þle guide is parallel to center of guide bar (see
Figure 15). This will insure that you Þle cutters at 30° angle.
5.File from inside towards outside of cutter until sharp. Only Þle in this one direction (see Figure 15). Note: Two or three strokes with Þle 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 cut- ters are sharpened. After every second or third sharp- ening, reset cutter depth gauges.
1.Place depth gauge tool (.025") Þrmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 17).
2.Use medium ßat Þle. File depth gauge level with depth gauge tool.
3.Remove depth gauge tool. With ßat Þle, round off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Fig- ure 18).
After several hand Þlings, have authorized service center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain. This will insure even Þling.
