When the specified files and/or
sharpening tools and the proper setting
are used, the specified values for angles
A and B will be attained automatically.
The angles must be identical for all
cutters in the saw chain. Varying angles:
Rough, uneven running of the saw
chain, increased wear – even to the
point of saw chain breakage.
Because these requirements can be met
only after sufficient, constant practice:
N Use a file holder
Always use a file holder (special
accessory, see table "Sharpening tools")
when sharpening saw chains by hand.
File holders have markings for the
sharpening angle.

N
To advance the saw chain, pull the
hand guard toward the handlebar:
The chain brake is disengaged.
With the Quickstop Super chain
brake system, additionally press the
throttle trigger lockout
N Sharpen frequently, removing little
material – two or three strokes of the
file are usually sufficient for simple
resharpening
N Guide the file: horizontally (at a
right angle to the side surface of the
guide bar) in accordance with the
specified angle – according to the
markings on the file holder – rest the
file holder on the tooth head and the
depth gauge
N File only from the inside outward
N The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift the file on the
backstroke
N Do not file tie straps and drive links
N Rotate the file a little periodically in
order to avoid uneven wear
N To remove file burr, use a piece of
hardwood
N Check angle with file gauge
All cutters must be equally long.
