CARE AND MAINTENANCE
f. Make a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all
left hand cutters in one direction. Then move
to the other side and file the right-hand cutters
in the opposite direction. Occasionally remove
filings from the file with a wire brush (Fig. 10d).
WARNING
• Improper chain sharpening increases the
potential of kickback.
• Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can
cause serious injury.

plate angle.

MORE THAN 30°- The edge of the cutting tooth is
feathered and dulls quickly.
