Improper chain sharpen-
will increase the chance of kickback which can re-
sult in serious injury.
WARNING:
when handling chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you even when it is not moving.
Conditions which indicate the need for chain
sharpening:
S Reduction in size of wood chips. The size of
the wood chip will decrease as the chain gets
duller until it becomes more like a powder
than a chip. Note that dead or rotted wood
will not produce a good chip.
S Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
S Saw has to be forced through the cut.
Tools required:
S 7/32 inch (5 mm) diameter round file and file
holder
S Flat file
S Depth gauge tool
TO SHARPEN CHAIN:
1.
Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP posi-
tion.
2.
Check chain for proper tension. Adjust
chain tension if necessary. See CHAIN
TENSION section.
3.
Sharpen cutters.
S To sharpen the cutters, position the file
holder level (10° ) so that it rests on the
top edges of the cutter and depth
gauge.
NOTE:
right hand cutters.

3 strokes per cutting edge.
