To sharpen the cutting teeth
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen
the cutting teeth. See Saw chain filing and saw
chain combinations on page 30
for
information on the recommended dimension of
the file and gauge for the saw chain installed
on your product.
1. Make sure that the saw chain is correctly
tensioned. A slack chain will move
sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
2. File all teeth on one side first. File the
cutting teeth from the inside face and
reduce the pressure on the return stroke.
3. Turn the product over and file the teeth on
the other side.
4. File all the teeth to the same length. When
the length of the cutting teeth is reduced to
4 mm (5/32") the saw chain is worn out and
must be replaced.
