56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS CHAIN SAW 41
How To Sharpen The Cutters
Be careful to le all cutters (Fig. 30) to the
specied angles and to the same length,
as fast cutting can be obtained only when
all cutters are uniform.
1. Remove the battery pack. Wear
gloves for protection.
2. Properly tension the chain prior
to sharpening. Refer to the
section: “ADJUSTING THE CHAIN
TENSION” earlier in this manual.
3. Use a 4.5 mm diameter round le
and holder (available separately).
Do all of your ling at the middle
position of the guide bar.
4. Keep the le level with the top plate of
the tooth. Do not let the le dip or rock.
5. Keep a correct sharpening angle of
30° between the le and the saw
chain; see Fig. 31 & 32. Always use
a le holder (available separately)
when sharpening saw chains by
hand. File holders have markings for
the sharpening angle.
6. Using light but rm pressure, stroke
towards the front corner of the
tooth. Lift the le away from the
steel on each return stroke.
7. Make a few rm strokes on every
tooth. File all left hand cutters in
one direction. Then move to the
other side and le the right hand
cutters in the opposite direction.
Occasionally remove lings from the
le with a wire brush (Fig. 33).
