20 Maintaining and Sharpening the Saw Chain
1
► Place a filing gauge (1) that matches the chain
pitch on the chain and press it against the cut‐
ter – if the depth gauge projects from the filing
gauge, the depth gauge has to be lowered.
Saw chains with humped drive link (2) – upper
part of humped drive link (2) (with service mark)
is lowered along with the depth gauge.
WARNING
The other parts of the humped drive link must not
be filed since this may increase the kickback ten‐
dency of the power tool.
► File down the depth gauge until it is level with
the filing gauge.
► File the top of the depth gauge parallel to the
stamped service marking (see arrow) – but do
not lower the highest point of the depth gauge
in this process.

WARNING
The kickback tendency of the machine is
increased if the depth gauges are too low.
2
► Place the filing gauge on the chain – the high‐
est point of the depth gauge must be level with
the filing gauge.
► After sharpening, clean the chain thoroughly,
remove filings or grinding dust – lubricate the
chain thoroughly.
► Before a long out-of-service period, clean the
chain and store it in a well-oiled condition.
