GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
•
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
1
Filing angle
•
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 over and file the
teeth on the other side.
2
Cutting angle
3
4
File position
Round file diameter
•
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
min 4 mm
(5/32")
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.
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
•
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be
filed down to achieve the recommended depth gauge
setting. See instructions under the heading Technical
data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
WARNING! Departure from the
sharpening instructions considerably
increases the risk of kickback.

Sharpening cutting teeth
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
!
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.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
•
•
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
