Sharpening cutting teeth
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round le and a
le gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical
data for information on the size of le and gauge that are
recommended for the chain tted to your chainsaw.
• Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difcult to
sharpen correctly.
• Always le cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce
the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on
one side rst, then turn the chainsaw and le the teeth
on the other side.
• File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 5/32 inch (4 mm) the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.

General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
• When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be
led down to achieve the recommended depth gauge
setting. See instructions under the heading Technical
14 – English
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
data to nd the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.

B
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
!
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
• The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
• You will need a at le and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
• Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the at le to le off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the le along the depth gauge
tool.
Tensioning the saw chain
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
!
the bar and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
