• Round file diameter.
It is not easy to sharpen a saw chain correctly without
the correct equipment. Use Husqvarna file gauge. This
will help you to keep maximum cutting performance and
the kickback risk at a minimum.
WARNING: The risk of kickback increases a
lot if you do not follow the sharpening
instructions.
Note: See
Filing equipment and filing angles on page
34
for information about sharpening of the saw chain.
To sharpen the cutting teeth
1. Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the
cutting teeth.
Note: See
Filing equipment and filing angles on page
34
for information about which file and gauge that
Husqvarna recommends for your saw chain.
2. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. A saw chain without the correct tension
moves from side to side. This does not make it easy
to sharpen the saw chain. See
To tighten the saw
chain on page 28
for instructions.
3. Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth
and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke.
4. Remove filing material on all teeth on one side first.
5. Turn the product around and remove filing material
on the other side.
6. Make sure that the all cutting teeth become the
same length when you remove filing material.
7. The saw chain is worn out when the cutting teeth is
decreased to 4 mm (0.16"). Replace the saw chain.
General information about how to adjust the
depth gauge setting
The depth gauge setting (C) decreases when you
sharpen the cutting tooth (A). To keep maximum cutting
performance you must remove filing material from the
depth gauge (B) to receive the recommended depth
gauge setting. See
Accessories on page 34
for
instructions about how to receive the correct depth
gauge setting for your saw chain.
WARNING: The risk of kickback increases if
the depth gauge setting is too large!
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpen
the cutting teeth, See
To sharpen the cutting teeth on
page 27
, for instructions. We recommend you to adjust
the depth gauge setting after each third operation that
you sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note:
This recommendation applies only if the length of
the cutting teeth does not decrease too much.
