SAW CHAIN
SHARPENING
z_CAUTION:
Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves when handling the chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
zhWARNING:
Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental operation, ensure that battery is
removed from the tool before performing the following operations.
Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the ground or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is important to keep the teeth of the chain
sharp. Follow these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 4.5ram file and a file holder or filing guide to sharpen your chain. This will
ensure you always get the correct sharpening angles
2. Place the file holder fiat on the cutter (20) and
depth gauge of the cutter.
3. (Figure S) Keep the correct cutter filing angle line of
30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at
60° from chain viewed from above).
4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File
from the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then
turn your saw around and repeat the processes
(2,3,4) for cutters on the other side of the chain.
NOTE: Use a fiat file to file the tops of the rakers (21)
(portion of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are
about .025 inch (.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters
as shown in Figure T.
5. Figure U- Keep all cutter lengths equal.
6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of
the cutter or side plates (22), file back until such
damage is removed.
z_CAUTION:
After filing, the cutter will be sharp,
use extra caution during this process.
NOTE: Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some
of the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be
used. It is recommended that a chain be sharpened no
more than four times.
