3. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge of the
cutter.
4. (Figure M) Keep the correct top plate filing angle line of 30° on
your file guide parallel with your chain (file at 60° from chain
viewed from above).
5. (Figure N) Sharpen cutters on one side of the chain first. File
from the inside of each cutter to the outside. Then turn your saw
chain around and repeat the processes (2,3,4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain. Use a flat file to file the tops of the
rakers (portion of chain link in front of the cutter) so that they are
about .025" below the tips of the cutters.
6. (Figure O) Keep all cutter lengths equal.
7. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the top plates or
side plates, file back until such damage is removed.
CAUTION: After filing, the cutter will 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.
