Sharpening The Saw Chain - FLORABEST FKS 2200 G4 Translation Of The Original Instructions

Sharpening the saw chain

An incorrectly sharpened
saw chain increases the dan-
ger of spring-back!
Use cut-protection gloves
when you are handling the
chain or the chain bar.
A sharp chain guarantees an op-
timal cutting performance. It eats
effortlessly through the wood and
leaves large, long wooden chips.
A saw chain is blunt if you have to
press the cutting equipment through
the wood and the wooden chips
are very small. In the case of a very
blunt saw chain, no chip cuttings
result at all, only sawdust.
• The sawing parts of the chain are the
cutting elements, which consist of a cut-
ting tooth and a depth limiting projec-
tion. The vertical separation distance
between these two determines the
sharpness depth.
• The following values must be noted in
sharpening the cutting teeth:
- Sharp edge angle (30°)
G
- Breast angle (85°)
- Sharpness depth (0.65 mm)
Deviations from the meas-
urement data of the cutting
geometry can lead to an
increase of the spring-back
slope of the machine. In-
creased danger of accident!
Special tools are necessary for sharpening
the chain, which guarantee that the cutting
edges are sharpened at the correct angle
and to the correct depth. For the inexperi-
G B
enced user of chainsaws, we recommend
to have the saw chain sharpened by a
specialist or a specialist workshop. If you
think yourself capable of sharpening the
chain, you can acquire the special tools in
the specialist trade.

1. Switch the saw off and unplug it
from the mains.
2. Remove the saw chain (refer to the
section on operating the saw). The
chain should be well-tensioned to
ensure proper sharpening.
4
Other diameters damage the
chain and can lead to danger
during work!
4. Sharpen only from the inside to
the inner side of the cutting teeth
you are withdrawing it.
5
Turn the saw around and sharpen
the teeth of the other side.
6. The chain is worn and must be
replaced by a new saw chain if
only approx. 4 mm of the cutting
teeth is remaining.
7. After the sharpening, all cutting
elements must now be equal in
length and width.
8. After every third sharpening, the
sharpness depth (depth limita-
tion) must be checked and the
be set back about 0.65 mm from
the cutting tooth. After the setting
back of depth limitation, round it
off a little at the front.
