Note: See
To sharpen the cutting teeth on
page 24
for information about sharpening of
the saw chain.
To sharpen the cutting teeth
1. Use a round file and a file gauge to
sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note: Refer to
Accessories on page 30
for information about which file and gauge
that we recommend for your saw chain.
2. Make sure that the saw chain has the
correct tension. A saw chain without the
correct tension moves from side to side.
This does not make it easy to sharpen the
saw chain. Refer to
To tension the chain
on page 25
for instructions.
3. Move the file from the inner side of
the cutting teeth and out. Decrease the
pressure on the pull stroke.
4. Remove filing material on all teeth on one
side first.
5. Turn the product around and remove filing
material on the other side.
6. Make sure that the all cutting teeth become
the same length when you remove filing
material.
7. The saw chain is worn out when the cutting
teeth is decreased to 0.16 in. (4 mm).
Replace the saw chain.
General information about how to adjust
the depth gauge setting
The depth gauge setting (C) decreases
when you sharpen the cutting tooth (A). To
keep maximum cutting performance you must
remove filing material from the depth gauge

depth gauge setting for your saw chain.

WARNING: The risk of kickback
increases if the depth gauge setting
is too large!
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or
sharpen the cutting teeth, See
To sharpen the
cutting teeth on page 24
, for instructions. We
recommend you to adjust the depth gauge
setting after each third operation that you
sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note:
This recommendation applies only
if the length of the cutting teeth does not
decrease too much.
