6. File each tooth from the inside towards the outside only. File one side of the chain
first then turn the saw around and repeat the process.
7. Sharpen each tooth equally by using the same number of strokes.
8. Keep all cutter lengths equal. Check the depth gauge height every 5 sharpening
strokes. If the depth gauges are also trimmed it is essential that the original profile
be restored.
9. Use a depth gauge measuring instrument to check the height of the depth gauge.
Depth gauge measuring jigs are available from most reputable tool merchants (Fig.
32).
Storage and transportation
Always remove the battery pack and replace the blade cover before storing or
transporting the chainsaw. Avoid the sharp teeth of the saw chain when doing so. It
is highly recommended to clean the chainsaw before storing it. Store in a place where
the machine cannot be easily accessed by children or untrustworthy foes.
Battery
1. Make sure the battery is fully charged before storage in order to maximise the life
of the battery.
2. Do not store the battery pack on the tool.
3. After charging, the battery pack may be stored in the charger, as long as the
charger is not plugged in.
Charger
1. Keep the charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material to
into the recessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe the charger clean with
cloth. Do not use solvents or water, and do not place the charger in wet conditions.
2. Unplug the charger when there is no battery in it.
3. Fully charge the battery before placing it in storage.
4. Store the charger at normal room temperature. Do not store it in excessive heat.
Do not use the charger in direct sunlight or in damp conditions. Do not charge
outside. Recharge at room temperature. If the battery is hot, allow it to cool down
before recharging.
