Cleaning The Guide Bar - Makita DCS430 Instruction Manual

E
Chain 086 (.325")
Sharpening angle α
Front rake β
The sharpening angle (α) must be identical for all cutters!
-
Different angles result in a roughly, irregularly running chain,
increase wear and tear and cause chain beakage.
The front rake (β) of the cutter results from the cut depth of
-
the round fi le. If the proper fi le is used in the right manner,
the correct front rake will be obtained automatically.
α
G
- The fi le holder makes fi le guidance easier. It is marked for
the correct α sharpening angle (keep the marks parallel with
the chain when fi ling, see illustration) and limits the cut depth
to the correct 4/5 of the fi le diameter. See "Accessories" for
the order number.

Cleaning the guide bar

Files and how to work with them
- Sharpen using a special fi le holder with a saw chain round fi le:
25°
- 086 (.325") chain: File the fi rst cutter half with a 4.8 mm dia.
60°
round saw-chain fi le, then switch to a 4.5 mm dia. fi le.
- 093 (3/8") and 099 (3/8") chain: File the fi rst cutter half
with a 5.5 mm dia. round saw-chain fi le, then switch to a
4.8 mm dia. fi le.
Normal round fi les are not appropriate for this work. See
"Accessories" for the order number.
- The fi le should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow). Lift
the fi le when leading it backwards.
- First sharpen the shortest cutter. The length of this cutter is
then the standerd for all other cutters of the chain.
4/5 - Always guide the fi le as in Fig. F shown (chain 086 (.325"),
099 (3/8") = 10° and 093 (3/8") = 90°).

H
- After having sharpened the chain, the height of the depth
limiter must be checked by means of a chain gauge. See
"Accessories" for the order number.
- Correct even the smallest excess height with a special fl at
fi le (1). See "Accessories" for the order number.
- Round off the front of the depth limiter (2).
