Maintaining and
Sharpening Saw Chain
Correctly sharpened chain
A

A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
3/8
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, cause higher vibrations,
produce unsatisfactory results and a
higher rate of wear.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/ ") is marked near
the depth gauge of each cutter.
A = Filing angle

Clean the chain.

B = Side plate angle
Check the chain for cracks or
damaged rivets.
Use only special saw chain files.
Other files have the wrong shape and
cut.

Select file diameter according to chain
pitch – see table "Sharpening Tools".
You must also observe the following
angles when resharpening the chain
cutters.
It is necessary to observe the
angles and dimensions specified
below. If the saw chain is
incorrectlysharpened–especially
if the depth gauges are too low –
there is an increased risk of
kickback and resulting danger of
injury.
Cutter shapes:
Micro = Semi-chisel
Super = Full chisel
Specified angles A and B are more
readily obtained if the recommended
files or sharpening tools and correct
settings are used.
