General information on sharpening cutting teeth
•
Never use a blunt chain.When the chain is blunt you have
to exert more pressure to force the bar through the wood
and the chips will be very small. If the chain is very blunt
it will produce wood powder and no chips or shavings.
•
Number of teeth on bar tip sprocket (T).
•
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
•
•
Chain pitch (inches).The spacing between the drive links
of the chain must match the spacing of the teeth on the
bar tip sprocket and drive sprocket.
•
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference
in height between the two (depth gauge setting).
Number of drive links. The number of drive links is
determined by the length of the bar, the chain pitch and
the number of teeth on the bar tip sprocket.
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
•
Bar groove width (inches/mm).The groove in the bar must
match the width of the chain drive links.

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 for
information about sharpening your chain.
WARNING! Departure from the sharpening
instructions considerably increases the risk
of kickback.
