MAINTENANCE
SHARPENING THE CUTTERS (See Fig. 32 - 35.)
Be careful to le all cutters to the specied angles and to the same length, because fast cutting
can only be obtained when all cutters are uniform.
C A U T I O N
Make sure the chainsaw is disconnected from the power supply before you work on the saw.
W A R N I N G
The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance
involving the chain to prevent serious personal injury.
• Tension the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to Adjusting The Chain Tension.
• Use a 5/32" (4 mm) diameter round le and holder. Do all of your ling at the midpoint of the
bar.
• Keep the le level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not let the le dip or rock.
• Use light but rm pressure. Stroke toward the front corner of the tooth.
• Lift the le away from the steel on each return stroke.
• Put 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.
• Remove lings from the le with a wire brush.
