SHARPENING THE CUTTERS (See Figure 32-35)
Be careful to file all cutters to the specified angles and to the same length, because fast cutting
can only be obtained when all cutters are uniform.
C A U T I O N
Make sure the chainsaw is disconnected from the power supply before you work on the saw.
W A R N I N G
The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance
involving the chain to prevent serious personal injury.
• Tension the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to Adjusting The Chain Tension.
• Use a 5/32" (4 mm) diameter round file and holder. Do all of your filing at the midpoint of the
bar.
• Keep the file level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not let the file dip or rock.
• Use light but firm pressure. Stroke toward the front corner of the tooth.
• Lift the file away from the steel on each return stroke.
• Put 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.
• Remove filings from the file with a wire brush.
