Sharpening the Chain

When the cutting edges of the blade become dull, they can be re-sharpened with a few strokes of a file.

In order to keep the blade in balance, all cutting edges must be sharpened equally.

In addition, inspect the chain for correct adjustment (more frequently with a new chain). The chain should feel snug but still pull freely. Refer to the section on “Adjusting the Chain” for adjustment procedures.

IMPORTANT!

File all cutters to the same angle and depth! Unequal filing may cause the saw to vibrate or cut erratically!

1.Using a 4.5 mm round file, sharpen all cutters to a 30° angle.

NOTE:

For consistent filing angles, use a filing guide

2.After all cutters are sharpened, use a depth gauge joiner to measure the height of each depth gauge.

3.As required, lower the depth gauges to a height of 0.6 mm.

4.After all depth gauges have been adjusted, use a flat file to round each depth gauge leading edge to its original curvature and angle.
