INTRODUCTION TO POWERSHARP®
This chain saw is equipped with the
PowerSharp® integrated sharpening
system, a fast and easy way to sharpen
chain on the saw. It is time to sharpen the
saw chain when cuts take longer or the
wood chips become smaller, turning the
saw to dust in extreme cases.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
IMPORTANT: POWERSHARP® CHAIN USES
UNIQUE TOP-SHARPENING CUTTERS
AND CAN ONLY BE SHARPENED WITH A
GENUINE POWERSHARP® SHARPENER.
• With the saw at full speed, lightly lift the
PowerSharp® lever for – seconds (Fig. ).
Sparks will be visible when the cutters are
in contact with the sharpening stone.
• Make a test cut to determine if the chain
has been sufficiently sharpened. If not,
repeat the sharpening procedure until the
chain is sufficiently sharp.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH
FORCE WHEN SHARPENING. EXCESSIVE
FORCE CAN REDUCE THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE SHARPENING STONE.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NORMAL TO SEE A
SMALL AMOUNT OF SPARKS AND SMOKE
DURING SHARPENING AS THE CUTTERS
CONTACT THE STONE AND FRICTION
HEATS THE CHAIN.
WHEN TO REPLACE
THE SHARPENING STONE
The sharpening stone is designed to wear
at the same rate as the chain. Always
replace the stone when replacing the
chain even if it appears to have more life.
See “Replacing a Worn Saw Chain and
Sharpening Stone” in this manual.
