chain on the bar when sharpening.
# Use a round file for chain sharpening,
diameter equivalent to 1.1 times the cutting
tooth depth.
# File at a horizontal angle, 35° to the bar.
# File from inside towards outside of the tooth
only.
# Sharpen each tooth equally by using the
same number of strokes.
# File at an angle of 90° to the bar.
# Check the safety depth gauge height every
5 chain sharpenings. Use depth gauge
measuring instrument to check the height of
the depth gauge.
12.GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR
CUTTING
We suggest to cut utilizing the bottom of the
bar, this way of operating diminishes the
probability of injuring. Be careful when cutting
with the top of the bar.
CUTTING LOGS
Cutting a log resting on the two extremities
FIG. 11
# First cut 1/3 of a diameter from the top.
Next cut from below using the top of the bar. This
will avoid pinching of the bar in wood. Avoid
touching the ground with the bar.
