• With the saw at full speed, lightly lift the
PowerSharp® lever for 3–5 seconds (Fig 28)
Sparks will be visible when the cutters are
in contact with the sharpening stone

• Make a test cut to determine if the chain
has been sufficiently sharpened If not,
repeat the sharpening procedure until the
chain is sufficiently sharp
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH
FORCE WHEN SHARPENING. EXCESSIVE
FORCE CAN REDUCE THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE SHARPENING STONE.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NORMAL TO SEE A
SMALL AMOUNT OF SPARKS AND SMOKE
DURING SHARPENING AS THE CUTTERS
CONTACT THE STONE AND FRICTION
HEATS THE CHAIN.

THE SHARPENING STONE

at the same rate as the chain Always
replace the stone when replacing the
chain even if it appears to have more life
