It is very difficult to sharpen a saw chain correctly
without the right equipment. Husqvarna recommends
that you use our file gauge. This will help you obtain the
maximum kickback reduction and cutting performance
from your saw chain.
WARNING: Departure from the sharpening
instructions considerably increases the risk
of kickback.
Note: See instructions under
angles on page 38 for information about sharpening
your saw chain.

1. Make sure that the saw chain is correctly tensioned.
A slack chain will move sideways, making it more
difficult to sharpen correctly. See instructions under
To tension the saw chain on page 31
2. File all teeth on one side first. File the cutting teeth
from the inside face and reduce the pressure on the
return stroke.
3. Turn the chainsaw over and file the teeth on the
other side.
4. File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm (5/32") the
saw chain is worn out and should be replaced.

setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal cutting
performance the depth gauge (B) has to be filed down to
achieve the recommended depth gauge setting. See
