The chain can be re-sharpened by any dealer. Do not
attempt to sharpen the chain yourself unless you have
the necessary special tools and experience.
A properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood
and it requires very little pressure. Do not work with a
dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion,
increase the vibrations and leads to unsatisfactory
results and higher wear.
Clean the chain.
Check it.
Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare
parts they are in the shape and size of the original parts
as necessary.
Sharpening a chain should be performed only by
experienced users!
Notice. Below the angle and dimensions If the chain is
not properly sharpened or the depth is too small, there
is a higher risk of reversion effects and resulting injuries!
The chain cannot be fixed on the guide rail. It is therefore
best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen.
Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch
sharpening tool. See "Specifications" for the allowed
chain pitches.
The chain pitch (for example 3/8 ") is highlighted in the
depth of each blade.
Use only special files for chainsaws! Other files have the
wrong shape and the wrong cut.
Select the file according to the diameter of your chain
pitch. Make sure to observe the following angle when
sharpening the chain diameter.
A = filing angle
B = the angle of the side plate
The angle must also be maintained for all knives.
For irregular angles, the chain is run irregularly, wear
quickly and break down prematurely.
Since these requirements can only be met with sufficient
and regular exercise:
A File Holder must be used when sharpening the saw
chain by hand. The correct filing angle marked on it.
Hold the file horizontally (at a right angle to the guide rail)
and file according to the angle mark on the file holder.
Support the file holder on the top plate and depth gauge.
File down. The knife is always from the inside to the
outside
The file sharpens only in forward motion. Lift it off in the
backward motion.
Do not touch the dynamic links with the file.
Turn the file regularly continue to avoid a onesided wear.
Remove to remove a piece of hard wood, bones raw
edges.

All knives must have the same length, otherwise they
will also vary. As a result, the chain is irregular and it
increases the risk of going broke.
