Maintaining and Sharpening
the Saw Chain
Cutting effortlessly with a correctly
sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
Clean the chain.
N
Check the chain for cracks in the
N
links and damaged rivets.
Replace any damaged or worn
N
parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified
below. If the saw chain is incorrectly
sharpened – and in particular if the depth
gauge is set too low – there is a risk of
increased kickback of the saw, with
resulting risk of injury.
