Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig.L–N)

CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective gloves
when handling the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is notrunning.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Do not over file chain rakers, this will increase
the risk of kickback. If the chain has been sharpened more
than four times, replaceit.
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 saw chain be sharpened no more
than fourtimes.
NOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground/dirt or a nail whilecutting.
To get the best possible performance from your pruner 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 11/64" (4.5 mm) file and a file holder or
filing guide to sharpen your saw chain. This will ensure you
always get the correct sharpeningangles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge
of thecutter.
3. Keep the correct top plate
23
filing angle line of 30° on
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from
chain viewed from the side) as shownin Fig. L.
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 flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion
of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about 0.025"
(0.635mm) below the tips of the cutters as shownin Fig. M.
5. Keep all cutter lengthsequal as shownin Fig. N.
6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the top plates
or side plates, file back until such damage isremoved.

CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, so use extra
caution during thisprocess.
