Use only special saw chain
sharpening files. Other files have the
wrong shape and cut.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
Select file diameter according to chain
pitch – see table “Sharpening Tools”.
You must observe certain angles when
resharpening the chain cutter.
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 a risk of

increased kickback of the saw,
