General information about how to sharpen
the cutters
Do not use a blunt saw chain. If the saw chain
is blunt, you must apply more pressure to
push the guide bar through the wood. If the
saw chain is very blunt, there will be no wood
chips but sawdust.
A sharp saw chain eats through the wood and
the wood chips becomes long and thick.
The cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge
(B) together makes the cutting part of the
saw chain, the cutter. The difference in height
between the two gives the cutting depth
