3.While holding the beaver blade in a standing (vertical) position, Place the round file into the tooth at the same angle as the cutting edge of the tooth (Figure 9). Lightly push the file across the cutting edge and through the tooth, twisting the file a half turn with each stroke (Figure 10).

4.Skip the next tooth (because it is facing the opposite direction), and sharpen the following tooth and so on. When you get back to your mark, you are finished with ONE side of the BEAVER BLADE.

5.Turn the BEAVER BLADE around to sharpen the other side. Change the angle of the round file to follow the angle of the cutting edge for teeth on this side (Figure 11). Start sharpening at your mark. Sharpen the teeth that have not yet been touched. Remember to pay attention to the angle of the file on the tooth and use the same number of strokes per tooth. Twist the file a half turn with each stroke into the cutting edge of the tooth, and don’t bear down on the file. Sharpen every other tooth until you get back to your mark.

Note: A chain that is sharper on one side than it is on the other will not cut in a straight line, but will tend to drift up or down, consistent with the sharper side of the chain. If your blade drifts up or down, check to see that the chain is equally sharp on both sides.

Note: After the cutting edges are all sharp, the rakers need to be filed down to give the teeth the proper cutting depth. See the following procedure to complete the Beaver Blade sharpening.

6.Hold the flat file horizontal and file down the rakers to the suggested dimension (Figure 12).

Note: If not enough material is removed from the rakers, the teeth will not cut efficiently. If too much material is removed from the rakers, the teeth will cut too aggressively and cause instability in the cutting action.
