How To Sharpen Cutters - Oregon Chain Saw Maintenance & Safety Manual

HOW TO SHARPEN CUTTERS

˜
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 process for cutters on the other side of the chain.
™
If damage is present on the chrome surface of top plates or side
plates, file back until such damage is removed.
š
Keep all cutter lengths equal.
›
Re-check depth gauges. If re-setting of the depth gauges is necessary,
follow instructions on pages 16 and 17.
NOTE: Do not file or alter the tops of kickback-reducing bumper
tie straps or bumper drive links.
