To sharpen the cutting teeth
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the
Guide bar and saw chain
cutting teeth. See
combinations on page 23 for information on the
recommended dimension of the file and gauge for
the saw chain installed on your product.
1. Make sure that the saw chain is correctly
tensioned. A slack chain will move sideways,
making it more difficult to sharpen correctly.
2. File all teeth on one side first. File the cutting
teeth from the inside face and reduce the
pressure on the return stroke.
3. Turn the product over and file the teeth on the
other side.
4. File all the teeth to the same length. When the
length of the cutting teeth is reduced to 4 mm
(5/32") the saw chain is worn out and must be
replaced.

To adjust the depth gauge setting
Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust the
depth gauge setting. See
teeth on page 20 . When you sharpen the cutting
tooth (A), the depth gauge setting (C) will decrease.
To maintain optimal cutting performance, the depth
gauge (B) has to be filed down to achieve the
recommended depth gauge setting. See
and saw chain combinations on page 23 to find the
correct depth gauge setting for your particular chain.

To sharpen the cutting
Guide bar
Note: This recommendation assumes that the length
of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust the
depth gauge.
1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw chain.
Detailed information regarding how to use the
depth gauge tool will be found on the package of
the depth gauge tool.
2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth
gauge that protrudes through the depth gauge
tool. The depth gauge setting is correct when you
no longer feel resistance as you draw the file
along the depth gauge tool.
To tension the saw chain
Note: Check the tension of a new saw chain
frequently during its running-in period.
1. Loosen the guide bar nuts that hold the clutch
cover. Use the combination wrench.
