Chain
It is very important for a smooth and safe operation
to always keep the chain sharp.
Your cutting teeth need to be sharp when:
• Sawdust becomes dusty.
• You need additional force to cut.
• The cut does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Be sure to wear cut resistant safety gloves
.
12. MAINTENANCE OF THE CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR
Use a round file of the correct size for your chain. Check the size and
type of chain and have a file that fits these measurements for a good
sharpening.
Place your file on the chain and push forward. Maintain the position of the
file as illustrated in the figure below.
After each cutting tooth has been sharpened, check the depth gauge and
file to the proper level as shown.
Make sure to close the front stop to reduce the chance of chain kickback
or breakage.
Make sure each tooth has the same length and edge angles as
illustrated.
