5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until
sharp. Only file in this one direction (see Figure
23). Note: Two or three strokes with file should
sharpen cutter.
6. After each cutter is sharpened, move chain for-
ward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters on
one side of chain.
7. Move to other side of chain and repeat process.
Filing Cutter Depth Gauges
The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters
are sharpened. After every second or third sharpen-
ing, reset cutter depth gauges.
1. Place depth gauge tool (.025") firmly across top
of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot
in depth gauge tool (see Figure 25).
2. Use medium flat file. File depth gauge level with
depth gauge tool.
3. Remove depth gauge tool. With flat file, round
off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure
26).
After several hand filings, have authorized service
center or sharpening service machine sharpen chain.
This will insure even filing.

REPLACING SAW CHAIN

Replace chain when cutters are too worn to sharpen or
when chain breaks. Also, the drive sprocket maintains
proper driving of chain. Replace drive sprocket if worn
or damaged. Only use replacement parts noted in this
manual. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket,
see Replacement Parts and Accessories, pages 68
and 69.
To replace saw chain:
1. Remove sprocket cover (see Clearing Sprocket
Cover of Debris, page 14).
2. Remove saw chain.
3. Place new saw chain around guide bar and
sprocket (see Install Guide Bar, page 17, for
proper chain orientation).
4. Place sprocket cover on saw (see Sprocket Cover
Assembly, page 15).
5. Tension saw chain (see Saw Chain Tension
Adjustment, page 8).
