It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more
than fourtimes.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground/dirt or a nail whilecutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chainsaw it
is important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp. Follow
these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 5/32" (4 mm) file and a file holder
or filing guide to sharpen your saw chain. This will ensure
you always get the correct sharpeningangles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth
gauge of thecutter.
3. Keep the correct top plate
33
filing angle line of 30° on
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from
chain viewed from the side) as shownin Fig. T.
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 thechain.
NOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion
of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about .025"
(.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as shownin Fig. S.
5. Keep all cutter lengthsequal as shownin Fig. U.
6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the
top plates or side plates, file back until such damage
isremoved.
CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use
extra caution during thisprocess.
Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig.S–U)
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can
cut you when it is notrunning.
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent accidental
operation, ensure that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to

WARNING: Do not over file chain rakers, this will
increase the risk of kickback. If the chain has been
sharpened more than four times, replaceit.
Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution should beused.
