How to Sharpen the Cutters
(Fig. 14)
Be sure to file all cutters (Fig. 14a) to the
specified angles and to the same length,
as fast cutting can be obtained only when
all cutters are uniform.
1. Remove the battery pack. Wear gloves
for protection.
2. Make sure that the chain is properly
mounted and correctly tensioned.
3. Use a 5/32" (4.0 mm) diameter round
file and holder (available separately).
Do all of your filing at the middle
position of the guide bar.
4. Keep the file level with the top plate of
the tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock.
5. Keep a correct sharpening angle of
30° between the file and the saw
chain (see Fig. 14b & 14c). Always
use a file holder (available separately)
when sharpening saw chains by hand.
File holders have markings for the
sharpening angle.
6. Using light but firm pressure, perform
a stroke towards the front corner of
the tooth. Lift the file away from the
steel on each return stroke.
7. Make a few firm strokes on every
tooth. File all left hand cutters in one
direction. Then move to the other
side and file the right-hand cutters in
the opposite direction. Occasionally
remove filings from the file with a wire
brush (Fig. 14d).
