Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the chain, which guarantee that the cutting
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-
enced user of chainsaws, we recommend
to have the saw chain sharpened by a
specialist or a specialist workshop. If you
think yourself capable of sharpening the
chain, you can acquire the special tools in
the specialist trade.
1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
I
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer
to the section on operating the
saw). The chain should be well-
tensioned to ensure proper sharp-
ening.
3. For the sharpening, a round file
with 4.0 mm diameter is neces-
sary.

4. Sharpen only from the inside to
the outside. Guide the file from
the inner side of the cutting teeth
to the outer side. Lift the file when
you are withdrawing it.
5. Sharpen first the teeth on one
side. Turn the saw around and
94
sharpen the teeth of the other
side.
6. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limitation)
must be checked and the height
filed with the aid of a flat file. The
depth limitation should be set back
about 0.65 mm from the cutting
tooth. After the setting back of
depth limitation, round it off a lit-
tle at the front.

Adjusting the chain tension

The adjustment of the chain tension is de-
scribed in the chapter: Starting operation,
tensioning chainsaw.
• Switch off the saw and pull out the
power plug.
• Check the chain tension regularly and
re-adjust this as often as possible.When
the saw chain is tensioned with 9 N
(approx. 1 kg), the gap between the
saw chain and the guide rail may not
be more than 2 mm.

Starting up a new saw chain

In the case of a new chain, the tensioning
force decreases after some time. Therefore
you must re-tension the chain after the first
5 cuts and at longer intervals after this.
