N Hold the file horizontally (at a right
angle to side of guide bar) and file
according to the angles marked on
the file holder. Rest the file holder
on the top plate and depth gauge.
N Always file from the inside to the
outside of the cutter.
N The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift the file off the
cutter on the backstroke.
N Avoid touching the tie straps and
drive links with the file.
N Rotate the file at regular intervals
while filing to avoid one-sided wear.
N Use a piece of hardwood to remove
burrs from cutting edge.
N Check angles with the filing gauge.
All cutters must be the same length.
MS 362 C
If the cutters are not the same length,
they will have different heights. This
makes the chain run roughly and can
cause it to break.
N Find the shortest cutter and then file
90°
all other cutters back to the same
length. It is best to have this work
done in the workshop on an electric
grinder.
Depth gauge setting
The depth gauge determines the height
at which the cutter enters the wood and
thus the thickness of the chip removed.
a Specified distance or setting
between depth gauge and cutting
edge.
This setting may be increased by
0.2 mm (0.008") for cutting softwood in
mild weather season – no frost.

Place a filing gauge (1) that
matches the chain pitch on the
chain – if the depth gauge projects
from the filing gauge, the depth
gauge has to be lowered.
