The sharpening angle of 30° must be the same on all cutters. Different
cutter angles cause the chain to run roughly and unevenly, accelerate
wear, and lead to chain breaks.
The angle of the saw chain teeth is 55°. Use a suitable round file so that
the proper sharpening angle is kept against the teeth.
The diameter of the round file which fits for the saw chain is 4mm.
The file should only engage the cutter on the forward stroke. Lift the file
off the cutter on the return stroke.
Sharpen the shortest cutter first. Then the length of this shortest cutter
becomes the standard for all other cutters on the saw chain.
Remove any projecting material, however small, with a special flat file.
Round off the front of the depth gauge again.
CLEANING THE GUIDE BAR
Chips and sawdust will build up in the guide bar groove. They may clog the
bar groove and impair the oil flow. Clean out the chips and sawdust every
time when you sharpen or replace the saw chain.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Before asking for repairs, conduct your own inspection first. If you find a
problem that is not explained in the manual, do not attempt to dismantle
the tool.Instead, ask ECOMAX Service Centers, always using ECOMAX
replacement parts for repairs.
