15.1 Sharpening the saw chain (13 - Page 8)
DANGER!
Danger of fatal injury due to kickback!
The operator can be fatally injured by
kickback of the chain saw.
■
Sharpen the saw chain properly.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from the saw chain!
The sharp edges of the saw chain can
cause serious laceration injuries.
■
Wear protective gloves when
resharpening the saw chain.
IMPORTANT!
Damage to the machine due to
incorrect sharpening!
Uneven cutting teeth mean that the
chain runs roughly and may even break.
All cutting teeth must have the same
length and width after sharpening.
■
Sharpen the saw chain properly.
NOTE
Inexperienced chain saw operators are
recommended to have the saw chain
sharpened by a specialist.
Do not work with a blunt or damaged saw chain.
The consequences include physical strain, a poor
cutting result and high levels of chain wear.
To achieve an optimum cutting result, it is
necessary for the saw chain to be resharpened at
regular intervals.
A correctly sharpened saw chain reduces the
danger of kickback and prevents high levels of
wear.
Sharpening is required if:

■ Vibrationincreases.
■ Fuelconsumptionincreases.
To sharpen the chain:
1. Switch off the chain saw and remove the
rechargeable battery.
2. Check the chain tension and adjust it if
necessary.
3. Only use a suitable tool for sharpening:
Round chain file Ø = 4.0 mm, file guide, chain
gauge.
These tools are available from specialist
retailers.
4. The individual chain links consist of a saw
link (13/3), saw tooth (13/1) and a depth
limiter (13/2).
