caution:
wear protective gloves when handling
the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut
you when it is not running.
warning:
to prevent accidental operation, ensure
that battery is removed from the tool
before performing the following
operations. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury.
note:
The cutters will dull immediately if
they touch the ground or a nail while cutting.
To get the best possible performance
from your chain saw it is important to
keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow
these helpful tips for proper saw chain
sharpening:
1. For best results use a 4.5mm file and
a file holder or filing guide to sharpen
your chain. This will ensure you always
get the correct sharpening angles.
2. Place the file holder flat on the top
plate and depth gauge of the cutter.
3. (figure r) Keep the correct top plate
(20) filing angle line of 30° on your file
guide parallel with your chain (file at
60° from chain viewed from above).
4. 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
processes (2,3,4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain.
note:
Use a flat file to file the tops of
the rakers (portion of chain link in front
of the cutter) so they are about .025 inch
(.635 mm) below the tips of the cutters as
shown in figure s.
5. figure t- Keep all cutter lengths
equal.
6. If damage is present on the chrome
surface of the top plates or side
plates, file back until such damage
is removed.
caution:
be sharp, use extra caution during this
process.
note:
Each time the chain is
sharpened, it loses some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution should
be used. It is recommended that a chain
be sharpened no more than four times.
