WARNING: Unplug chain saw from

power source before servicing. Severe

injury or death could occur from electri-

cal shock or body contact with moving

chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain

are sharp. Use protective gloves when

handling chain.

SHARPENING SAW 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, hard-

ware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.

• 5/32" round ﬁle

• Depth gauge tool

• File guide

• Vise

• Medium sized ﬂat ﬁle

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Do not place chain on saw

backwards. If chain is backwards, saw

will vibrate badly and will not cut.

Install Guide Bar

1. Place guide bar onto guide bar bolts (see Figure

20, page 16).

2. Place sprocket support over guide bar and secure

in place with E-ring (see Figure 20, page 16).

3. Place saw chain around sprocket, along top

groove of guide bar, and around guide bar nose

(see Figure 22). Note: Make sure cutting edges

of saw chain are facing in right direction. Position

chain so cutting edges on top of guide bar face

guide bar nose (see Figure 22 and indicator on

side cover of saw).

Figure 22 - Correct Chain Direction

Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1. Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain

Tension Adjustment, pages 8 and 9).

2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady.

Note: Do not clamp chain.

3. Press 5/32" round ﬁle (attached to ﬁle guide)

into groove between top plate and depth gauge

on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate

and depth gauge (see Figure 23). 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 23). This will insure that you ﬁle cutters

at 30° angle.
