produce unsatisfactory cutting results
and a higher rate of wear.

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 chainsaw, with
resulting risk of injury.
You must observe certain angles when
resharpening the chain cutter.
Cutter shapes:
Micro = Semi-chisel
Super = Full chisel
The specified angles A and B are
obtained automatically if the
recommended files or sharpening tools
and correct settings are used.
