Maintaining and Sharpening
the Saw Chain
Cutting effortlessly with a correctly
sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
Clean the chain.
N
Check the chain for cracks in the
N
links and damaged rivets.
Replace any damaged or worn
N
parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
WARNING
It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified
below. If the saw chain is incorrectly
sharpened – and in particular if the depth
gauge is set too low – there is an
increased risk of kickback, with resulting
risk of injury.
The saw chain cannot be locked in place
on the guide bar. Therefore, it is best to
remove the chain from the bar and
resharpen it on a workshop sharpening
tool (FG 2, HOS, USG).
Chain pitch
The chain pitch (a) is marked on the
depth gauge end of each cutter.
