SHARPENING THE CHAIN TEETH
To sharpen the blade we will need:
- A guide.
- A limiting gauge.
- A flat file.
- A round file.
1) We brake the chain so that we can start sharpening without it moving.
2) Mark with a pencil or felt-tip pen the tooth where we are going to start sharpening. This mark will serve as a guide
so that we don't get lost and know where we have started sharpening.
3) Insert the round file into the face of the tooth to be sharpened in a position of about 35º.
4) Start filing. Slide the file at the correct angle and with a slight upward force.
5) We perform the same procedure on all teeth.
6) In order to be able to work, we must unlock the chain, move the remaining part to the upper part of the sword
and lock it again so that we can work better.
7) Invert the machine and perform the same procedure (step 2 to 8) in the other direction.
8) Check the height with the gauge and rectify if necessary. The height between the guide tooth and the cutting
tooth should be about 3mm.
