Filing saw chain
File the saw chain so that the cutters meet the specifications indicated in illustration.

Use a round file 4 mm in outer diameter to file the cutters. Apply it to the cutter so that
it will be angled 30° to the guide bar and protrude 1/5 of the outer diameter from the tip
of the cutter. Hold the file level and push it away from you while filing. Be careful not to
touch the cutters with the file when pulling it back toward you.
2) Filing depth gauges
Use a flat file to file the depth gauges. Hold the file level while filing.
Round off the front corner of the depth gauge to maintain its original shape.
After filing the saw chain, immerse it in oil and wash off filing chips and sawdust from
the saw chain.
