MAINTENANCE

SHARPENING THE CUTTERS

• Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles and to the same length, as fast

cutting can be obtained only when all cutters are uniform.

• Tension the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to Adjusting The Chain Tension.

• Use a 5/32’’ (4 mm) diameter round file and holder. Do all of your filing at the midpoint

of the bar.

• Keep the file level with a top plate of the tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock.

• Using light but firm pressure. Stroke towards the front corner of the tooth.

• Lift the file away from the steel on each return stroke.

• Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left hand cutters in one direction. Then

move to the other side and file the right hand cutters in the opposite direction.

• Remove filings from the file with a wire brush.
