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.

Find the shortest cutter and then file
all other cutters back to the same
length. It is best to have this work
done in the workshop on an electric
grinder.

Lowering depth gauges
a
The depth gauge setting is reduced
when the chain is sharpened.
N
Use a filing gauge to check the
setting every time you sharpen the
chain.
N
Hold the file horizontally (at a right
angle to side of guide bar) and file
according to the angles marked on
the file holder. Rest the file holder
on the top plate and depth gauge.
The depth gauge determines the height
at which the cutter enters the wood and
thus the thickness of the chip removed.

Always file from the inside to the
outside of the cutter.

The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift the file off the
cutter on the backstroke.
This setting may be increased by
mm (0.008") for cutting softwood in
mild weather season – no frost.

Avoid touching the tie straps and

N
Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain – if the depth gauge projects
from the filing gauge, the depth
gauge has to be lowered.
Rotate the file at regular intervals
while filing to avoid one-sided wear.
Use a piece of hardwood to remove
burrs from cutting edge.
Check angles with the filing gauge.
All cutters must be the same length.
