Saw chain sharpening
NOTE: Never saw with a blunt chain. The saw chain is
blunt if you have to push the product into the tree and the
chips are very small.
> Have your chain (3) sharpened professionally at an authorised
service centre or sharpen the chain yourself using a proper
sharpening kit. Also observe the sharpening instructions supplied
with the sharpening kit.
WARNING! Only sharpen the saw chain yourself if you
are trained and have experience! Use proper tools to
sharpen the saw chain!
> The height difference between
the tooth and the ridge is
the cutting depth. When
sharpening the saw chain
(3) you have to consider the
following points (Fig. 50).
• File angle
• Cutting angle
• File position
• Diameter of round le
• File depth
> To sharpen the chain proceed as follows:
• Use protective gloves.
• Ensure the chain is correctly tensioned.
• Engage the chain brake to lock the chain on the bar.
> Use the provided round le(33), whose diameter is 1.1 times the
cutting tooth depth. Make sure 20% of the le diameter is above
the cutter’s top plate.
