Files and how to work with them

Use a special saw chain round 

Þ

  le for sharpening. Standard round 

Þ

 les are unsuitable. For the order number, see “Accessories”.

Type 086, 484, 686

: File the 

Þ

 rst cutter half with a  4,8 mm  dia. 

round saw-chain 

Þ

 le, then switch to a 4.5 mm dia. 

Þ

 le.

Type 093, 099

: File the 

Þ

 rst cutter half with a  5,5 mm  dia. round 

saw-chain 

Þ

 le, then switch to a 4.8 mm dia. 

Þ

 le.

The 

Þ

 le should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow). Lift the 

Þ

 le when leading it backwards.

First sharpen the shortest cutter. The length of this cutter is then 
the standerd for all other cutters of the chain.

New saw teeth must be 

Þ

 led to the exact same shape as the 

used teeth, including on their running surfaces.

File depending on chain type (90° or 10° to the guide bar).

Þ

 le holder makes 

Þ

 le guidance easier. It is marked for the 

correct sharpening angle of: 

 

α

 = 25°

 

α

 = 30°

 

α

 = 35°

(keep the marks parallel with the chain when 

Þ

  ling, see illustration) 

and limits the cut depth to the correct 4/5 of the 

Þ

 le diameter. 

See „Accessories“ for the order number.

After having sharpened the chain, the height of the depth limiter 
must be checked by means of a chain gauge. See „Accessories“ 
for the order number.

Correct even the smallest excess height with a special 

ß

 at 

Þ

 le (

). See „Accessories“ for the order number.
