DCS-2500TN
Never operate a chainsaw with a
dull or damaged chain. If the chain
requires excessive pressure to cut
or produces dust instead of wood
chips then inspect the cutters for
damage. When sharpening the
chain the objective will be to
maintain the same angles and
profiles throughout its life as when
it was new. Inspect the chain for
damage or wear every time you
use your chainsaw.
Sharpening
In order to file the chain correctly
you need: round file and file
holder, flat file and a depth gauge
tool. By using the correct file size
(80TXL; 5/32 in. round file) and a
file holder, it is easier to receive a
good result.
Consult your ECHO dealer for
correct sharpening tools and
sizes
1. Lock the chain - push the front
hand guard forward. To rotate
the chain - pull the front hand
guard against front handle.
2. Your chain will have
alternative left and right hand cutters. Always sharpen from the inside
out.
3. Keep the angle lines of the file holder parallel to the line of the chain
and file the cutter back until the damaged area (side plate and top
plate) has been removed.
