■ SAW CHAIN
It is very important for smooth and safe operation
to keep the cutters always sharp.
Your cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
• You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut way does not go straight.
• Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for your chain.
Chain type: 91SG
File size:
3.9mm
Place your file on the cutter and push straight forward.
Keep the file position as illustrated. (F11-1)
After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge
and file it to the proper level as illustrated. (F11-2)
Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the
chance of kickback or tie-strap breakage.
