2. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. A saw chain without the correct tension
moves from side to side. This does not make it easy
to sharpen the saw chain. See
on page 12 for instructions.
3. Move the file from the inner side of the cutting teeth
and out. Decrease the pressure on the pull stroke.
4. Remove filing material on all teeth on one side first.
5. Turn the product around and remove filing material
on the other side.
6. Make sure that the all cutting teeth become the
same length when you remove filing material.
7. The saw chain is worn out when the cutting teeth is
decreased to 4 mm (0.16"). Replace the saw chain.
General information about how to adjust the
depth gauge setting
The depth gauge setting (C) decreases when you
sharpen the cutting tooth (A). To keep maximum cutting
performance you must remove filing material from the
depth gauge (B) to receive the recommended depth

WARNING: The risk of kickback increases if
the depth gauge setting is too large!
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Before you adjust the depth gauge setting or sharpen
To sharpen the cutting teeth on
the cutting teeth, See
page 11 , for instructions. We recommend you to adjust
the depth gauge setting after each third operation that
you sharpen the cutting teeth.
Note: This recommendation applies only if the length of
the cutting teeth does not decrease too much.
We recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
receive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for the
depth gauge.
1. Use a flat file and a depth gauge tool to adjust the
depth gauge setting. Only use the recommended
depth gauge tool to receive the correct depth gauge
setting and bevel for the depth gauge.
2. Put the depth gauge tool on the saw chain.
Note: See the package of the depth gauge tool for
more information about how to use the tool.
3. Use the flat file to remove the part of the depth
gauge that extends through the depth gauge tool.
Note: The depth gauge setting is correct when you
do not feel resistance as you move the file along the
depth gauge tool.
To tension the chain
WARNING: A slack chain may jump off and
cause serious or even fatal injury.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take
up the slack. Check the chain tension every time you
refuel. Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not
so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
