• With the saw at full speed, lightly lift
the PowerSharp® lever for 3–5 seconds
(Fig 24) Sparks will be visible when the
cutters are in contact with the
sharpening stone
FIG. 24
• Make a test cut to determine if the chain
has been sufficiently sharpened If not,
repeat the sharpening procedure until
the chain is sufficiently sharp
IMPORTANT: DO NOT APPLY TOO
MUCH FORCE WHEN SHARPENING.
EXCESSIVE FORCE CAN REDUCE
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
SHARPENING STONE.
IMPORTANT: IT IS NORMAL TO SEE
A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPARKS AND
SMOKE DURING SHARPENING AS
THE CUTTERS CONTACT THE STONE
AND FRICTION HEATS THE CHAIN.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE
SHARPENING STONE
The sharpening stone is designed to wear
at the same rate as the chain Always
replace the stone when replacing the
chain, even if it appears to have more life
