■ 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:

25AP, 91VG

File size:

5/32 in (4.0mm)

Place your file on the cutter and push straight
forward. Keep the file position as illustrated.

gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated.
