General information on sharpening cutting teeth

• Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you

have to exert more pressure to force the bar through

the wood and the chips will be very small. If the chain

is very blunt it will produce wood powder and no chips

or shavings.

• A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and

produces long, thick chips or shavings.

• The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and

consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge

(B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the

difference in height between the two (depth gauge

setting).

When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important

factors to remember.

1 Filing angle

2 Cutting angle

3 File position

4 Round ﬁle diameter

It is very difﬁcult to sharpen a chain correctly without the

right equipment. We recommend that you use our ﬁle

gauge. This will help you obtain the maximum kickback

reduction and cutting performance from your chain.

See instructions under the heading Technical data for

information about sharpening your chain.

Sharpening cutting teeth

To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round ﬁle and a

ﬁle gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical

data for information on the size of ﬁle and gauge that are

recommended for the chain ﬁtted to your chain saw.

• Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack

chain will move sideways, making it more difﬁcult to

sharpen correctly.

!

WARNING! Departure from the

sharpening instructions considerably

increases the risk of kickback.
