Maintaining and
Sharpening Saw Chain
Correctly sharpened chain
A

A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.

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.

:
Clean the chain.
The chain pitch (e.g. 3/ ") is marked near
the depth gauge of each cutter.
A = Filing angle

Check the chain for cracks or
damaged rivets.
B = Side plate angle
Use only special saw chain files.
Other files have the wrong shape and
cut.
:
Replace any damaged or worn parts
of the chain and match the new
parts to the shape and size of the
original parts.

Select file diameter according to chain
pitch – see table "Sharpening Tools".
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.
You must also observe the following
angles when resharpening the chain
cutters.
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.
