8.1.3. SHARPENING OF CHAIN CUTTING TEETH
ATTENTION !: An incorrectly sharp chain increases
the risk of rebound of the mower, vibrations increasing
the risk of accident !.
So that the mower cuts correctly and safely, keep
the cutting teeth sharp. In addition the cutting teeth
should be sharpened if:
• You have to make more effort than usual to cut.
• The cutting path is not straight.
• The vibrations increase.
• When cutting sawdust is produced instead of wood
chips.
Do not forget to always wear safety gloves when
sharpening the chain.
Make sure the mower chain is securely fixed when
sharpening the chain.
Make sure the engine is off when sharpening the
chain.
Use a special chainsaw file suitable for your chainsaw
chain.
Place the file on the edge of the cutting tooth between
points (A) and (B) and push forward always keeping
an angle of 30º. Sharpen all the teeth of a face always
sharpening with outward movements and maintaining
the 30o angle. When finished, change sides and
perform the same operation.
Check the safety height (C), this height must be
approximately 0.6 mm. A height (C) that is too high
will cause the chain to bite too much demanding a lot
of effort from the engine and a small height will not
allow the chain to cut.
