otherwise the chain runs unevenly and/or
skew, wears more quickly and has a shorter
lifespan. It takes practice to file a saw chain
correctly. We recommend using a file guide.
The correct angles are marked on the file
guide.
FIG. 38
1.
Hold the file guide and the file at a suitable
angle according to the horizontal markings
on the file guide. Let the file guide rest
against the top of the cutter tooth and
against the raker.
2.
File from the inside of the cutter tooth
towards the outside.
3.
The file only files when it is moved forward
– lift the file when pulling it back.
4.
Do not allow the file to touch the side links
and drive links.
5.
Turn the file regularly, so that it files evenly.
6.
Deburr the edges with a piece of hard
wood.
7.
All the cutter teeth should have the same
length and thereby the same height,
otherwise the chain will run unevenly and
the risk of the chain breaking increases.
HEDGE TRIMMER
Maintenance and sharpening of the blades
•
The blade pitch is set at the factory and
does not need to be adjusted.
•
If the hedge trimmer is used and
maintained in accordance with these
instructions no further maintenance or
sharpening of the blades is necessary.
Sharpening is only necessary if the
functionality deteriorates and branches
frequently fasten in the blades.
NOTE:
•
Check at regular intervals that the blades
are not deformed or damaged, and that
the bar is in good condition.

•
Any repairs to the bar and/or blades
should be carried out by an authorised
service centre. This is to ensure that the
machine is safe to use.
