File the tooth in the direction from inside out (in direction B, see fi gure) until it is sharp. File only in this
direction.
Note: Two to three passes of the fi le should be suffi cient to sharpen the tooth.
Filing the depth gauge
As a result of sharpening the teeth on the chain, the depth gauge
tolerance is reduced. After every second or third sharpening, it is
necessary to adjust the depth gauge setting.
Place the depth gauge adjustment jig (see fi g., point 1) fi rmly
on the top edge of two teeth. Make sure that the groove of the
jig is in the groove of the depth gauge (see fi g., point 2.)
Use a medium-sized fl at fi le (see fi g., point 3).
File the depth gauge (see fi g., point 4) to the level of the depth
gauge adjustment jig.
Remove the depth gauge adjustment jig. Using a fl at fi le,
round the front edge of the depth gauge (see fi gure). When
fi ling, adhere to the prescribed values (see fi g., point 5).
Note: After the chain has been sharpened by hand several
times, have the saw chain sharpened at an authorised
service centre or sharpen it on a special sharpening
machine. This will renew the even sharpness of all teeth.
14. REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN
ATTENTION!
When replacing the saw chain, do not clamp the chain saw or the guide bar in a vice.
Always replace the chain if the teeth are excessively worn out and they cannot be sharpened or if the chain
snaps. Use only an original spare chain according to the specifi cations in this user’s manual. When replacing
the saw chain, always also replace the cogged wheel of the sprocket. This will ensure the correct position of the
chain during movement. (Note: You will fi nd the specifi cations of the correct chain type and the cogged wheel in
the technical specifi cations.)
