SHARPENING THE SAW CHAIN

When the saw chain penetrates into wood with difficulty,
it needs sharpening as follows:

•
•
•
•
Bar
groove
NOTE: It is recommended to have the deep or
important sharpening carried out by a service agent who is
equipped with electric sharpener.
Put the saw chain under tension.
Fasten the bar in a vice so that the saw chain can
slide.
Fasten the file to the file holder and place it on
cutter at 35° angle.
File with forward strokes only until all the worn out
parts of the cutting edge are taken away.
Count the number of strokes given to the cutter as
a reference and file away with the same number of
strokes on all other cutters.
If the depth gauge protrudes from the template after
sharpening a few times, reset its level. Use a flat
file. Finally, round off the depth gauge.
