6.1- Saw Chain Sharpening
WARNING - It is very important for smooth and safe operation to always keep the cutters sharp.
- Be sure to wear safety gloves.
The cutters need to be sharpened when: - Sawdust becomes powder-like.
For non-experienced users of the chainsaw, we recommend having the chain sharpened by a
specialist in any authorized service centre. Specialized resellers can carry out the chain sharpening.
It is interesting to entrust them with this task because of their sharpening technical knowledge and
speed. You may also find the sharpening tools to perform this task yourself in any specialized stores.
To sharpen the saw chain, use the suitable sharpening tools:
- Round chain file of 4,0mm
- File leading
- Chain measuring caliber.
To sharpen a chain, follow the instructions given in the leaflet accompanying the chain or sharpening
tools
Never work with a blunt or damaged saw chain. As a result of the work with a blunt or damaged saw
chain, there may appear huge physical tiredness, wrong cut and high chain wear.
To gain well shaped sawdust particles, use sharp chain. If there appears wooden powder, you
must sharpen the saw chain.
All cutting teeth must be similarly long.
Different length of the teeth can cause rough run
of the chain or its rupture, as well.
Minimum length of the teeth must be 4 mm.
If they are shorter, remove the saw chain.
Angles, which the teeth are under, must be
followed.
To sharpen the chain basically, make 2 to 3 pulls
of the file from the inside out.
When having wrong sharpened chain, a higher danger of kickback may occur.
After 3 to 4 of your sharpening of the cutting teeth, have the saw chain sharpened in any
authorized service. They will sharpen the depth limiter as well, which provides the distance D.
- You need extra force to saw in.
- The cut path does not go straight.
- Vibration increases.
