GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
•
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce the
pressure on the return stroke.File all the teeth on one side
first, then turn the chain saw and file the teeth on the other
side.

Cutting angle
•
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length of
the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (0.16") the chain is
worn out and should be replaced.

•
When you sharpen the cutting teeth you reduce the raker
clearance (=cutting depth). To maintain optimal cutting
performance you must file back the raker lip to the
recommended height.
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 to find
the correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is increased
if the raker clearance is too large!
!
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
WARNING! Departure from the sharpening
instructions considerably increases the risk
of kickback.

•
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that
you adjust the raker clearance every third time you
sharpen the chain. NOTE! This recommendation
assumes that the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced
excessively.
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
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to acheive
the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the depth
gauge.
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.
