Conditions which indicate the need for chain sharpening:

SReduction in size of wood chips. The size of the wood chip will decrease as the chain gets duller until it becomes more like a

powder than a chip. Note that dead or rotted wood will not produce a good chip.

SSaw cuts to one side or at an angle. S Saw has to be forced through the cut.

Tools required:

S 5/32 inch (4 mm) diameter round file and file holder

S Flat file

S Depth gauge tool

TO SHARPEN CHAIN:

1.Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP position.

2.Check chain for proper tension. Adjust chain tension if necessary. See CHAIN TENSION section.
