Sharpening Instructions

When cutting performance and behavior
begin to deteriorate, i.e. blades
frequently snag on branches:
Resharpen the cutting blades.
It is best to have the cutting blades
resharpened by a dealer on a workshop
sharpener. STIHL recommends a STIHL
servicing dealer.
It is also possible to use a flat crosscut
sharpening file. Hold the sharpening file
at the prescribed angle (see
"Specifications").
N Always file towards the cutting
edge.
N The file only sharpens on the
forward stroke – lift it off the blade
on the backstroke.
N
Use a whetstone to remove burr
from cutting edge.
N Remove as little material as
possible.
N After sharpening, clean away filing
or grinding dust and then spray the
cutting blades with STIHL resin
solvent.
Do not operate your machine with
dull or damaged cutting blades.
This may cause overload and will
give unsatisfactory cutting results.
