Files and how to work with them

Sharpen using a special le holder with a saw chain round le
dia. 5/32" (4.0 mm). Normal round les are not appropriate for
this work. See "Accessories" for the order number.
The le should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow). Lift the
le when leading it backwards.
First sharpen the shortest cutter. The length of this cutter is then
the standerd for all other cutters of the chain.
Always guide the le horizontally (90o to the guide bar).
E
The le holder makes le guidance easier. It is marked for
the correct 30° sharpening angle (keep the marks parallel with
the chain when ling, see illustration) and limits the cut depth
to the correct 4/5 of the le diameter. See "Accessories" for the
order number.

After having sharpened the chain, the height of the depth limiter
must be checked by means of a chain gauge. See "Accessories"
for the order number.
Correct even the smallest excess height (13) with a special
at le. See "Accessories" for the order number.
Round off the front of the depth limiter (14).
