* This angle is difficult to measure becau-
se the top plate cutting edge is very
short. It is obtained automatically if the fi-
ling and side plate angles are main-
talned as specified.
Cutter shapes:
Micro = Semi-chisel
Super = Full chisel
Specified angles A, B, and C are
obtained automatically if recommen-
ded files or sharpening tools and
correct settings are used.
Furthermore, the angles must be the
same on all cutters.
If angles are uneven:
Chain will run roughly, not in a straight
line, wear quickly and finally break.
As these requirements can be met only
after sufficient and constant practice:
Use a file holder.
A file holder must be used for manual
resharpening of Super chain. The correct
filing angle is marked on the file holder.
