WARNING!

Sharpening the Chain

■ Install the appropriate guide-bar

scabbard before transporting the

saw.

■ Never operate a saw that is

damaged, improperly adjusted, or

not completely and securely

assembled.

■ Use only Shindaiwa-recommended

parts when repairing or servicing

this saw.

■ Do not use this saw if the saw

chain continues to move after the

throttle control trigger is released.

■ Use extra care when cutting a

limb that is under tension! A limb

under tension could spring back

suddenly, causing you to lose

control of the saw!

■ Use extreme caution when cutting

smaller brush and saplings! Small-

diameter material may catch in the

chain and be whipped toward you

■ Keep the saw handles dry, clean

and free of oil or fuel mixture.

■ Never operate any saw while in a

tree unless you have been specifi-

cally trained to do so!

■ Never perform service or repairs

to this saw unless you are specifi-

cally trained and equipped to do

so!

■ Improper maintenance, use of

nonconforming replacement

components, or the removal of

safety devices, such as the chain

brake or any of the chain brake

components, could result in

serious injury.

■ Never allow any part of your body

near the clutch cover of an

operating saw.

vibration can damage your hands.

■ Always maintain a firm footing

while operating this saw! Ladders

and other temporary platforms can

shift unexpectedly, and are not

recommended!

1.Using a 5/32" round file, sharpen all cutters to a 30° angle .

IMPORTANT!

File all cutters to the same angle and depth! Unequal filing may cause the saw to vibrate or cut erratically!

NOTE:

For consistent filing angles, use a filing guide such as Oregon®

p/n 37534 or equivalent.

2.After all cutters are sharpened, use a depth gauge joiner (Oregon® p/n 106738 or equivalent) to measure the height of each depth gauge.

3.As required, lower the depth gauges to a height of 0.020"

(0.5 mm). Use a flat file; Oregon® p/ n 12211 or equivalent.

4.After all depth gauges have been adjusted, use a flat file to round each depth gauge leading edge to its original curvature and angle.
