GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
Sharpening cutting teeth
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).
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.
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
1
Filing angle
•
•
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
2
Cutting 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.
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 (0.16") the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
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.
!
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
