It is very difficult to sharpen a chain correctly without the
right equipment. We recommend that you use our file
gauge. This will help you obtain the maximum kickback
reduction and cutting performance from your chain.

Sharpening cutting teeth
• To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and
a file gauge.
• Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
• Always file cutting teeth from the inside face outwards.
Reduce the pressure on the return stroke. File all the
teeth on one side of the bar first. Then turn the saw
over and file the remaining teeth from the other side.
