Cutting effortlessly with a correctly
sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
N Clean the chain.
N Check the chain for cracks in the
links and damaged rivets.
N Replace any damaged or worn
parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
Maintaining and
Sharpening the Saw Chain
It is absolutely essential to comply
with the angles and dimensions
specified below. If the saw chain is
incorrectly sharpened – and in
particular if the depth gauge is set
too low – there is a risk of
increased kickback of the saw,
with resulting risk of injury.
