All cutters must be sharpened to the same angle, 30°. Different angles result in a roughly, irregularly running chain, increase wear and tear and cause chain beakage.

The 85° front rake of the cutter results from the cut depth of the round file. If the proper file is used in the right manner, the correct front rake will be obtained automatically.

Files and how to work with them

Sharpen using a special file holder with a saw chain round file dia. 5/32" (4.0 mm). Normal round files are not appropriate for this work. Accessorie, not delivered with the chain saw.

The file should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow). Lift the file 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 file horizontally (90° to the guide bar).

After having sharpened the chain, the height of the depth limiter must be checked by means of a chain gauge. Accessorie, not delivered with the chain saw.

Correct even the smallest excess height with a special flat file (12). Accessorie, not delivered with the chain saw.

Round off the front of the depth limiter (13).

DCS 330 TH specifications

The Makita DCS 330 TH is a powerful and versatile chainsaw designed for professional users who demand high performance and reliability in their tools. This model is particularly favored for its exceptional cutting capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both forestry applications and general landscaping tasks.

One of the standout features of the Makita DCS 330 TH is its robust 32.2 cc 2-stroke engine, which delivers impressive power for cutting through various types of wood. With an engine speed of up to 12,000 RPM, this chainsaw can tackle thick branches and logs with ease, allowing the user to complete their tasks efficiently. The combination of power and lightweight design ensures that users can handle the saw comfortably for extended periods without excessive fatigue.

The chainsaw is equipped with a 12-inch guide bar, which enables precise cutting while maintaining a manageable size for various applications. This length strikes an optimal balance between maneuverability and cutting depth, making the DCS 330 TH an excellent choice for both pruning and felling small to medium-sized trees.

The Makita DCS 330 TH also incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance and user experience. One of these technologies is the automatic oil pump, which ensures that the chain is adequately lubricated during operation. This feature not only prolongs the life of the chain and bar but also enhances cutting efficiency and safety.

User comfort is further prioritized through the inclusion of an anti-vibration system that minimizes the impact of vibration during operation. This system significantly reduces user fatigue and allows for more precise control, making it easier to perform detailed cutting tasks.

Safety features are also a prominent aspect of the Makita DCS 330 TH. The chainsaw is designed with a chain brake system that quickly halts the chain in case of kickback, providing an additional layer of protection for the operator. Additionally, the tool's throttle lock ensures that the saw remains stable during operation, preventing accidental starts.

In summary, the Makita DCS 330 TH is a highly capable chainsaw that combines power, comfort, and safety features into one reliable package. Its lightweight design, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in a quality chainsaw for demanding applications.
