immersing it in an oil bath. If you are not going to use the
chain for
a
prolonged period, clean it with
a
brush and
immerse it in an oil-paraffin bath.
Carefully
examine
chain
for cracks in the links or damaged
rivets while
you are
sharpening and cleaning it. Any dama-
ged
or worn parts must be replaced. The new parts
must
be
reworked to match the shape and size of the original
parts.
Chain repairs can be carried out with the STIHL handheld
chain breaking and rivet spinning tool, the STIHL NG 1 or
NG
5 rivet spinners and the STIHL NG 4 chain breaker.
Tools for chain maintenance
There is a range of chain sharpening aids and tools to suit
the
user's needs (frequency of sharpening, time required
etc.).

holders, which have reference marks for the filing
angle, simplify chain sharpening and are available for all ty-
pes
of chain.
The
FG 1 filing tool attaches
to
the
guide bar and shar-
pens all types of
chain.
The
STIHL FG 2 Filerite and USG universal electric
sharpener

workshop tools suitable for sharpening all
