CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Sharpening the cutters
Be careful to le all cutters to the specied angles and
to the same length, as fast cutting can be obtained only
when all cutters are uniform.
Make sure the battery is removed from the chain saw
before you work on the saw.
CAUTION
WARNING
The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective
gloves when performing maintenance to the chain to
prevent serious personal injury.
Note:
• Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or dam-
age are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket replaced by an authorized service
center.
• If you do not fully understand the correct procedure for sharpening the chain after reading the
instructions that follow, have the saw chain sharpened by an authorized service center or replace
with a recommended low-kickback chain.
• Tension the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to
Adjusting The Chain Tension.
• Use a 5/32 in. (4 mm) diameter round le and holder.
Do all of your ling at the midpoint of the bar.
• Keep the le level with a top plate of the tooth. Do not
let the le dip or rock.
• Using light but rm pressure. Stroke towards 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.
