16.1 Sharpening the Saw Chain

Correctly sharpening saw chains requires a lot of practice.
STIHL files, STIHL filing aids, STIHL sharpeners and the
brochure "Sharpening STIHL Saw Chains" help you achieve
the right results. To obtain the brochure visit

STIHL recommends you have saw chains resharpened by a
STIHL servicing dealer.
WARNING
The chain's cutters are very sharp. There is a risk of cut
injuries.
