To sharpen the cutting teeth
1. Use a round file and a file gauge to
sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note:
Accessories on page 30
Refer to
for information about which file and gauge
that we recommend for your saw chain.
2. Make sure that the saw chain has the
correct tension. A saw chain without the
correct tension moves from side to side.
This does not make it easy to sharpen the
saw chain. Refer to
on page 25 for instructions.
3. Move the file from the inner side of
the cutting teeth and out. Decrease the
pressure on the pull stroke.
4. Remove filing material on all teeth on one
side first.
5. Turn the product around and remove filing
material on the other side.
6. Make sure that the all cutting teeth become
the same length when you remove filing
material.
