Avoid touching the tie straps and
drive links with the file.
Rotate the file at regular intervals
while filing -
this avoids one-sided wear.
Use a piece of hardwood to remove
burrs from cutting edge.

Check angles with the filing gauge.
As these requirements can be met only
after sufficient and constant practice:
File correctly
All cutters must be the same length
•
If you use a file holder or the FG 1:
Leave the chain on the bar.
Clamp the bar in a vise if necessary.
Lock the chain - push hand guard
forward
If the cutters are not the same length,
they will have different heights. This
makes the chain run roughly and can
cause it to break.
Use a file holder.*

A file holder must be used for manual
resharpening of Super chain. The correct
filing angle is marked on the file holder.

•
To rotate the chain - pull hand
guard against front handle
Sharpen chain frequently, take
away as little metal as possible -
two or three strokes of the file are
usually enough
Find the shortest cutter and then file all
other cutters back to the same length.
This can be very time consuming - it is
best to have it done in the workshop on
an electric grinder.
