Maintaining and
Sharpening the Saw Chain
3/8
Cutting effortlessly with a correctly
sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/8") is marked on
the depth gauge end of each cutter.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
Use only special saw chain
sharpening files. Other files have the
wrong shape and cut.

Select file diameter according to chain
pitch – see table “Sharpening Tools”.
Check the chain for cracks in the
links and damaged rivets.
You must observe certain angles when
resharpening the chain cutter.
The chain sprocket is driven via a friction
clutch. Havethe chain sprocket replaced
by a servicing dealer.

parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.

STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
It is absolutely essential to comply
with the angles and dimensions
specified below. If the saw chain is
incorrectly sharpened – and in
particular if the depth gauge is set
too low – there is an increased
risk of kickback, with resulting risk
of injury.

The pruner's saw chain cannot be
locked in place on the guide bar.
Therefore, it is best to remove the chain
from the bar and resharpen it on a
workshop sharpening tool (FG 2, HOS,
USG).
