3. To sharpen the chain proceed as follows:
- Use protective gloves.
- Ensure the chain is correctly tensioned.
- Engage the chain brake to lock the chain on the bar.
4. Use a suitable file, whose diameter is 1.1 times the cutting tooth depth. Make sure 20% of
the file diameter is above the cutter's top plate.
5. A file guide is available from most reputable tool merchants and is the easiest way to hold
the file at the correct position.
6. File at an angle perpendicular to the bar, and at an angle of 25° to the direction of travel.
(See Fig. 37b)
7. File each tooth from the inside towards outside only. File one side of the chain first than
turn the saw around and repeat the process.
8. Sharpen each tooth equally by using the same number of strokes.
9. Keep all cutter lengths equal. Check the safety depth gauge height every 5 sharpenings.
If the depth gauges are also trimmed it is essential that the original profile be restored.
10. 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. (See Fig. 37c)
