Sharpening the chain
Wear safety gloves when sharpening the chain. All cutting links must have the same width and length after sharpening.
m NOTICE
A sharp chain generates well-shaped chips. If the chain starts to generate sawdust, it must be sharpened.
After sharpening the cutting tools 3 to 4 times, you must check the height of the depth limiter and, if necessary, use a flat
file to make this deeper and then round off the front corner.
Chain Sharpening
m NOTE!: For smooth and safe operation, it is important that the chain is always sharp. The chain should be sharpened
when:
• Wood shavings are dust-like.
• You have to expend extra power sawing.
• The saw cut is not straight.
• The vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
m NOTE
We recommend that a professional sharpen the chain.
