4. Use the chain le (not delivered), whose diameter is 1.1 times the cutting
tooth depth. Make sure 20% of the le diameter is above the cutter’s top
plate.
NOTE: A le guide is available from most reputable tool merchants and
is the easiest way to hold the le at the correct position.
5. File at an angle perpendicular to the bar, and
at an angle of 30° to the direction of travel
(Fig. 50).
6. File each tooth from the inside towards
outside only. File one side of the chain rst
than turn the saw around and repeat the
process.
7. Sharpen each tooth equally by using the
same number of strokes.
8. Keep all cutter lengths equal. Check the safety
depth gauge height every 5 sharpenings.
If the depth gauges are also trimmed it is
essential that the original prole be restored.
