Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1.Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain Tension Adjustment, page 7).

2.Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady. Note: Do not clamp chain.

3.Press four millimeter round ﬁle (attached to ﬁle guide) into groove between top plate and depth gauge on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate and depth gauge (see Figures 20 and 21). Note: File at midpoint of guide bar.

4.Hold ﬁle guide level. Make sure 30° mark on ﬁle guide is

parallel to center of guide bar (see Figure 20). 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 20). Note: Two or three strokes with ﬁle should sharpen cutter.

6.After each cutter if sharpened, move chain forward 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 sharpening, reset cutter depth gauges.

1.Place depth gauge tool ﬁrmly across top of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot in depth gauge tool (see Figure 22).

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 23).
