SHARPENING OF THE CHAIN BLADE

WARNING
To prevent accidents, always turn off the switch and
remove the storage battery from the main body.
CAUTION
Always wear thick gloves when handling the saw chain.
NOTE
Sharpen the saw chain and adjust the depth gauge at
the central position on the guide bar, with the saw chain
attached to the main body.
When the sharpness of saw chains deteriorates, the motor
and each part of the body are burdened and the effi ciency
declines.
For optimal performance of the unit, frequent maintenance
is necessary to keep the saw chain sharp.
1. Blade sharpening
Use a 4 mm diameter round fi le.
The round fi le should be held against the chain blade
so that one-fi fth of its diameter extends above the top
of the blade, as shown in Fig. 29.
Sharpen the blades by keeping the round fi le at a 30°
angle in relation to the guide bar, as shown in Fig. 30.
File the blades by gently pushing the round fi le in the
direction of the grip.
Make sure the round fi le does not touch the saw chain
when drawing back the fi le.
Ensure that all saw blades are fi led at the same angle,
or the cutting effi ciency of the tool will be impaired.
Appropriate angles for sharpening the blades correctly
are shown in Fig. 31. (Round fi le is sold separately.)
2. Adjustment of depth gauge
WARNING
○ Do not sand the top part of the bumper tie strap and
bumper drive link, nor cause the shape of said parts to
deform.
○ Adjustment of depth gauges must be in line with the
predetermined dimensions and shapes, otherwise the
risk of kickback may increase, causing an injury.
Bumper tie strap
Depth gauges shall be all lined up in the same manner
because they are used to adjust depth at the position
where the cutter inlays into the wood.
When sharpening the saw chain, be sure to check the
depth gauge every two or three times. (Fig. 32)
Place a depth gauge jointer on the saw chain, leave the
gauge visible at the groove, and use a fl at fi le to bevel
the portion out of the depth gauge jointer. (Fig. 33)
(Depth gauge jointer and fl at fi le are sold separately.)
After fi ling away the depth gauge, round off the front
side of the depth gauge as it was. (Fig. 34)
After sharpening the saw chain, place it into chain oil to
wash off the fi lings.
If fi lings are not cleaned off , the saw chain and guide
bar will quickly wear while in use.
The depth gauge jointer can also be used when
dressing with a round fi le. (Fig. 35)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

After operation, perform inspection and maintenance of
each part when storing the unit.

bars with oil for rust-proofi ng.
When cleaning the side cover, sprocket, chain oil
spout, and guide bar, see the procedure "Installing
(replacing) saw chain" and remove the saw chain.
Clean and remove any swarf or dust left inside the
parts.
Before cleaning the chain oil spout, remove the side
cover and guide bar.
When sawdust and similar become clogged in the
groove of the guide bar or oil spout, the oil may not fl ow,
which may result in the unit failing.
Remove the guide bar and clean any sawdust clogged
in the groove after use and when replacing the saw
chain. (Refer to "Installing (replacing) saw chain.")
Use a brush to remove any swarf from the gap to the
saw body.
The chain catcher is designed to protect the operator
from being struck by the saw chain if the chain comes
loose or is severed.
The chain catcher is integrated into the side cover.
Check to confi rm that the chain catcher is not damaged.
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
