Servicing and sharpening of saw chain
The correct sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain goes way through the wood and it requires very little pressure. Do not work with a
dull or damaged chain. It increases physical exertion, increase the vibrations and leads to unsatisfactory results
and higher wear.
•
Check and clean the chain.
•
Replace damaged or worn parts with matching spare parts they are in the shape and size of the original
parts as necessary.
•
Sharpening a chain should be performed only by experienced users!
•
If the chain is not properly sharpened or the depth is too small, there is a higher risk of reversion effects and
resulting injuries!
•
It is best to remove the chain from the rail and then sharpen.
•
Select the appropriate tools for the chain pitch sharpening tool. The chain pitch (for example 3/8 ") is
highlighted in the depth of each blade.
•
Use only special files for chain saws! Other files have the wrong shape and the wrong cut.
•
Select the file according to the diameter of your chain pitch. Make sure to observe the following angle when
sharpening the chain diameter.
A = filing angle
