SHARPENING YOUR SAW

CHAIN

WARNINGICON G 001

WARNING: Unplug chain saw

from power source before servic-

ing. Severe injury or death could

occur from electrical shock or

body contact with moving chain.

WARNINGICON G 001

WARNING: Cutting edges on

chain are sharp. Use protective

gloves when handling chain.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster

and more safely. A dull chain will cause

undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and motor

wear. If you must force chain into wood and

cutting creates only sawdust with few large

chips, chain is dull.

Items Needed to Sharpen Chain

Purchase these items from your local dealer,

hardware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.

• 4 mm (5/32") round ﬁle

• File guide

• Medium sized ﬂat ﬁle

• Depth gauge too

• Vise

Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1. Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw

Chain Tension Adjustment, page 8).

2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw

steady.

Note:

Do not clamp chain.

3. Press four millimeter (5/32") round ﬁle

(attached to ﬁle guide) into groove be-

tween top plate and depth gauge on chain.

File guide should rest on both top plate

and depth gauge (see Figures 19 and 20).

Note:

File at midpoint of guide bar.

4. Hold ﬁle guide level. Make sure 30°

mark on ﬁle guide is parallel to center

of guide bar (see Figure 19). This will

insure that you ﬁle cutters at 30° angle.

5. File from inside towards outside of cut-

ter until sharp. Only ﬁle in this one direc-

tion (see Figure 19).

Note:

Two or three

strokes with ﬁle should sharpen cutter.

6. After each cutter if sharpened, move

chain forward to sharpen next cutter.

File all cutters on one side of chain.

7. Move to other side of chain and repeat

process.
