Oregon CS1500-091 Original Instruction page 24

• Make a test cut to determine if the chain has
been sufficiently sharpened If not, repeat
the sharpening procedure until the chain is
sufficiently sharp
IMPORTANT: Do not apply too much force
when sharpening. Excessive force can
reduce the performance of the sharpening
stone.
IMPORTANT: It is normal to see a small
amount of sparks and smoke during
sharpening as the cutters contact the
stone and friction heats the chain.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE
SHARPENING STONE
The sharpening stone is designed to wear at
the same rate as the chain Always replace
the stone when replacing the chain even if it
appears to have more life See "Replacing a
Worn Saw Chain and Sharpening Stone" in this
manual
