Saw Chain Sharpening (Fig.GG,HH,II)
CAUTION: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when handling the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is notrunning.
WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure the tool is unplugged
before performing the following operations. Failure to
do this could result in serious personalinjury.
nOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground or a nail whilecutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chainsaw
it is important to keep the teeth of the saw chain sharp.
Follow these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. For best results use a 4.5mm file and a file holder or
filing guide to sharpen your saw chain. This will ensure
you always get the correct sharpeningangles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth
gauge of thecutter.
Regular maintenance ensures a long effective life for
the tool. After every 10 minutes of use, turn the unit off,
disconnect the appliance from the power source (be aware
the chain and bar can be hot!) and check the bar and chain
for correct tension and lubricate per Adjusting Chain
Tension and Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

filing angle line
of 30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at
60° from chain viewed from the side).
4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from
the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your
saw around and repeat the processes (2, 3, 4) for cutters
on the other side of thechain.
nOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion
of chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about
.025" (.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as shown
in Fig.hh.
5. Fig.ii- Keep all cutter lengthsequal.
6. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the
top plates or side plates, file back until such damage
isremoved.
CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use
extra caution during thisprocess.
nOTE: Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of
the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
It is recommended that a saw chain be sharpened no more
than fourtimes.
