If you sharpen the chain yourself, use special
round-section files with the right diameter depend-
ing on the type of chain (see "Chain Maintenance
Table"). You need a certain amount of skill and
experience to avoid damaging the cutting edges.
Sharpen the chain as follows (Fig. 24):
– Switch off the engine, release the chain brake
and secure the bar with the chain in a vice so
that the chain can run smoothly.
– Tighten the chain if it is loose.
– Mount the file in the guide and then insert it in
the tooth at a constant angle from the cutting
edge.
– Sharpen in a forward motion a few times and
repeat this on all the cutting edges facing the
same way (right or left).
– Turn the bar over in the vice and repeat on all the
other cutting edges.
– Check that the limiter tooth does not stick out
further than the inspection instrument and file
any projecting parts with a flat file, rounding off
the edge.
– After sharpening, remove all traces of filing and
dust and lubricate the chain in an oil bath.
Replace the chain whenever:
– The length of the cutting edges reduces to 5
mm or less;
– There is too much play between the links and
the rivets.
BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 25)
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make sure
it is turned over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, proceed
as follows:
– grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (if
present) with the syringe;
– Clean the bar groove with the scraper (not in-
cluded);
– clean the lubrication holes;
– with a flat file, remove burr from the edges and
level off the guides.
Replace the bar whenever:
– the groove is not as deep as the height of the
drive links (which must never touch the bottom);
– the inside of the guide is worn enough to make
the chain lean to one side.
