Maintenance; Protecting The Environment - DeWalt DCM575N Original Instructions Manual


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.
nOTE: The cutters will dull immediately if they touch the
ground or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is
important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow these
helpful tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. 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.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge
of the cutter.
3. Figure R- Keep the correct top plate
of 30° on your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60°
from chain viewed from the side).
4. Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File from the
inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your saw
around and repeat the processes (2,3,4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain.
nOTE: Use a flat file to file the tops of the rakers (portion of
chain link in front of the cutter) so they are about 0.635 mm
below the tips of the cutters as shown in Figure s.
5. Figure T- Keep all cutter lengths equal.
6. 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.
