Saw Chain Sharpening (L, M, N)

WARNING: Sharp moving chain. To prevent
accidental operation, ensure that battery is removed
from the tool before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.

WARNING: Sharp chain. Always wear protective
gloves when installing or removing the chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
To get the best possible performance from your chainsaw
it is important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow
these helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. Remove the saw chain and use a chain vise when doing
any sharpening. See Removing the Saw Chain and
Chain Bar.
2. For best results use a 4.5 mm file and a file holder or
filing guide to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you
always get the correct sharpening angles.
3. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth
gauge of the cutter.
4. Keep the correct top plate filing angle line of 30° on
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from
chain viewed from above).
5. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from
the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn
your saw chain around and repeat the processes (2,
3, 4) for cutters on the other side of the chain. Use a
flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion of chain
link in front of the cutter) so that they are about .025"
(6.3 micrometers). below the tips of the cutters.
6. Keep all cutter lengths equal.
7. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the
top plates or side plates, file back until such damage
is removed.

CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use
extra caution during this process.
nOTE: Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of
the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
It is recommended that a chain be sharpened no more than
four times.
